Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for its occupiers, having particular regard to the adequacy and functionality of the communal space
What decided it
The inadequate provision and poor functionality of communal space results in a poor standard of living for occupiers, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing supply.
The benefits of housing choice and efficient use of existing stock were afforded limited weight; the harm from inadequate communal space and poor living conditions was considered very significant, and the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
