Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed amenity space provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of the existing neighbouring residential properties in terms of outlook
What decided it
The poor quality of the proposed outdoor amenity space and its harmful effect on the outlook and living conditions of both future occupiers of the proposed flat and occupants of neighbouring properties outweighed the moderate housing benefit.
The benefits of housing provision (moderate weight) and minor economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of future occupants through poor quality amenity space and harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers
