Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with regard to outlook, light and the size of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 45 Fawcett Road (No. 45), with regard to outlook and light
- whether the proposal provides suitable on-site bicycle and refuse storage
- the effect of the proposed development on the Solent Special Protection Areas (SPAs)
What decided it
The absence of a completed legal agreement securing mitigation for recreational pressure and nutrient impacts on the Solent SPAs meant the development would be likely to have an adverse effect on the integrity of the designated sites, which could not be resolved and attracted very substantial weight against the proposal.
