Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Pavilion Court with regard to light
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with regard to cycle facilities, light and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through significant daylight reduction and would provide inadequate accommodation for future occupiers, particularly regarding light and cycle storage facilities, which together outweigh the housing supply benefits.
