Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions for neighbouring occupiers as regards outlook and light

What decided it

The combination of loss of outlook and loss of morning sunlight to neighbouring properties, which would unacceptably harm living conditions and conflict with development plan policy and the Framework.

The adverse effects of the development on neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and the appellant's extended family housing needs when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HO20 a) & c)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 135Paragraph 11
