Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future residents in respect of internal and external space, ventilation, outlook, and light
- Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents in respect of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of future residents arising from inadequate internal and external space, ventilation, outlook, and light outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply in a sustainable location.
The benefits of providing two dwellings in a sustainable location with good access to services were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of future residents, such that the proposal did not represent sustainable development under the tilted balance test.
