Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on trees and whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the vehicular access serving Plot 1
What decided it
The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook from Plot 2, combined with harm to future occupiers' amenity from tree overshadowing and the resultant pressure on protected trees, outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location.
The benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location and economic benefits during construction were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers and to protected trees.
