Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether adequate living conditions would be created for future occupants of the proposed apartments, with particular reference to privacy, internal layout, and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The lack of privacy for future occupants due to the juxtaposition of habitable room windows with the pavement on Mersey Road, which would allow uninterrupted views from passers-by, constituted significant harm that outweighed the moderate benefits of the scheme under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery, economic regeneration, and removal of public house noise were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions arising from inadequate privacy for future residents.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy L7 of the Trafford Local Plan: Core Strategy (2012)Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan Document
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
