Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 103 Whitmore Gardens in respect of loss of light
  • whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of housing types having regard to the requirements of the development plan
  • whether the proposal would achieve a suitable standard of fire safety

What decided it

The proposal would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to unacceptable outlook and inadequate privacy, conflicting with development plan policies that could not be outweighed by the identified benefits.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy D6, Policy BH6, Policy BH13, Policy D12A
