Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupants of the dwelling with particular regard to overlooking and provision of outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property at 2a Pyms Way with particular regard to loss of outlook and loss of light
What decided it
The unacceptable adverse impacts on the living conditions of both the future occupants of the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring residents at 2a Pyms Way, arising from overlooking, loss of outlook and potential loss of light due to the site's constrained size and proximity to the neighbour's rear-facing windows, outweighed the social and economic benefits of providing a new dwelling.
