Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to disturbance
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to the amount of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and residential amenity of the local area
What decided it
The absence of any external amenity space for future occupiers breached Policy SC5 of the Local Plan and rendered the living conditions unacceptable, outweighing the acceptable findings on neighbouring disturbance and cumulative character impact.
