Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to outlook and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular reference to whether it would appear overbearing and would overshadow their properties
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to living conditions of both future occupants (poor outlook and privacy) and neighbouring residents (overbearing appearance and overshadowing) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location.
The benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location use were afforded modest weight, but the significant harms to living conditions of future occupants and neighbouring residents were afforded substantial weight, resulting in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.
