Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to private outdoor space

What decided it

The poor-quality living conditions resulting from inadequate private outdoor space due to direct overlooking from the neighbouring property substantially and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling.

The limited social and economic benefits of one additional dwelling and the Council's housing land supply shortfall were substantially outweighed by the conflict with the development plan and the Framework's requirement for high standards of amenity for future residents.
