Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether future occupiers of the proposed development would have satisfactory living conditions with particular regard to privacy, outlook, and outdoor space provision

What decided it

The poor outlook and lack of privacy for future occupiers, arising from the single meaningful aspect and the overlooked outdoor space, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits of the proposal.

The limited benefits of providing one additional small unit of housing in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of future occupiers from poor outlook and lack of privacy in the outdoor space.
