Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to outside space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The substantial reduction in outside amenity space would provide an unacceptable standard of living conditions for existing and future occupiers, and this significant harm outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
The adverse impacts of harm to living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and limited economic benefits, such that Paragraph 11d of the Framework did not indicate permission should be granted
