Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of 49 St Mary's Lane with particular reference to light, outlook and sense of enclosure
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The harm to the living conditions of 49 St Mary's Lane through loss of light, outlook and increased sense of enclosure significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
The modest benefits of housing delivery on previously developed land in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 49 St Mary's Lane.
