Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring property 8 Edmund Road with regard to outlook and sunlight
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to the internal living space of bedroom two in plots one to three
What decided it
The significantly harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at No.8 Edmund Road with regard to outlook and sunlight, when weighed against the moderate housing benefits in the context of the tilted balance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs those benefits.
The moderate positive weight afforded to housing land supply benefits and economic and social benefits of the scheme was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
