Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to daylight and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on car parking provision in the area
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory refuse and recycling storage facilities
What decided it
The significant harm to neighbouring residents' outlook and the failure to provide appropriate car parking provision outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions and inadequate parking provision, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of four additional housing units and limited economic advantages when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
