Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers with relation to disruption and safety during the construction of the development
What decided it
The failure to provide substantive evidence that construction-related disruption and safety impacts on neighbouring occupiers could be adequately mitigated, combined with the history of unsuccessful attempts to discharge similar conditions, meant the proposal could not be permitted.
The adverse impact on the living conditions of existing adjoining occupiers attracts substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply and economic benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
