Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 37 Bedford Road with particular reference to outlook, privacy, daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The permanent and persistent harmful effect on the living conditions of occupiers of No 37, particularly outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic benefits.
The adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions, given significant weight as permanent and persistent harm, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of a single dwelling and housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
