Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 2 Bower Lane (No 2), with particular regard to outlook, privacy and loss of sunlight
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to on-street parking

What decided it

The permanent and ongoing harmful effects on the living conditions of both neighbouring and future occupiers, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts from increased on-street parking, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery and effective land use.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, effective land use in a sustainable location, and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant and permanent harms to neighbouring occupiers' outlook, future occupiers' living conditions through inadequate external amenity space, and highway safety from increased on-street parking on narrow roads.
