Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of dwellings, no 5 Tysoe Court and nos 49A, 51, and 53 Parsonage Chase, with particular regard to outlook and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The harmful enclosing effect and loss of outlook for neighbouring occupants, combined with noise and disturbance from the access arrangement, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing and environmental benefits, even in the context of a shortfall in housing land supply.
The adverse impacts on living conditions of neighbouring occupants significantly and demonstrably outweigh the scheme's benefits of one additional dwelling and efficient use of land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
