Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed detached dwelling, resulting from its proximity to site boundaries and inadequate amenity space, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefit of providing one additional housing unit.
The benefit of providing one additional housing unit through more efficient use of suburban land carries only limited weight and is significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the long-lasting harm to the living conditions of future occupiers when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
