Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the scheme upon the living conditions of future occupiers, having particular regard to outlook, privacy, light levels, and space
- Whether the scheme would mitigate climate change and minimise energy requirements
What decided it
The significant harms to the living conditions of future occupiers and failure to mitigate climate change substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location.
The modest social, economic and environmental benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location were substantially outweighed by the significant harms to living conditions of future occupiers and failure to mitigate climate change and minimise energy requirements.
