Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 1A Jarvis Close, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of existing occupants through loss of privacy and the contrived garden layout that would sever the existing property from its garden significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
The social benefits of housing delivery and limited economic benefits of a single dwelling were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of existing occupants, which runs contrary to the social objectives of sustainable development and the Framework's requirement for high standards of amenity.
