Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of numbers 7, 8 and 9 Ashmore Road and of dwellings in Robinswood Gardens, having regard to their outlook and light
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle and bin storage for its future occupiers
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact on outlook, combined with significant conflicts regarding inadequate bin and cycle storage provision, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic contribution.
the adverse impacts of the proposal, comprising substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions and significant conflicts with storage policies, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic contribution
