Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with regard to privacy, private garden space provision, outlook and daylight/sunlight
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed eastern garden area would lack sufficient privacy due to overlooking from the first-floor bedroom window of No 111, resulting in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers that cannot be outweighed by the modest housing supply benefits.
The adverse impacts of unacceptable living conditions due to insufficient privacy in the garden area significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of a small contribution to housing supply and the provision of downsizing accommodation for older people.
