Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 8 Wooldale Drive, with particular reference to outlook and light
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of 1 Wooldale Close, with particular reference to the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers regarding outlook and light, combined with the poor standard of living accommodation for the proposed occupiers due to insufficient private amenity space, outweighed any benefits of the development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (1998)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
