Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 67 and 71 Marlow Road with regard to light levels and outlook

What decided it

The overbearing effect and harmful loss of outlook to 67 Marlow Road, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of the replacement dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers (loss of outlook and overbearing effect) significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of the delivery of a replacement dwelling, even in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.

Framework references: 11, 12

Plan policies cited: CP9, DM35
