Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for residents of the development in terms of outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupants in terms of poor outlook and loss of light significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of delivering 3 new dwellings.
The significant and long-lasting adverse impacts relating to living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits associated with the provision of 3 new dwellings, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies DPDPolicy 22 of the Earl Shilton and Barwell Area Action Plan
