Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the adjoining neighbours at 85 Icknield Way, with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing taking account of local policy
What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbours at No 85 through adverse effects on outlook, when weighed against the moderate benefits of housing delivery in a location with insufficient housing land supply, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbours at No 85 in terms of outlook; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
