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.
Framework references: 135, 11
