Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area around Bromborough Road and Birch Road
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the proposed dwellings and of neighbouring dwellings by way of privacy, outlook, light, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The harmful effects on living conditions of occupiers of both proposed and neighbouring dwellings, particularly from overlooking, oppressive outlook, loss of light, and noise from vehicle manoeuvring, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of new housing delivery despite the housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of new dwellings and housing delivery were outweighed by the significant and demonstrable adverse impacts on living conditions of occupiers of both proposed and neighbouring dwellings
