Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupants of the adjacent first floor flat, No. 2A Station Road
- Whether the proposal would secure adequate living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the Nationally Described Space Standards
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts on the living conditions of the adjacent flat and the failure to secure adequate living conditions for future occupants, combined with design deficiencies that fall short of NPPF paragraph 135 requirements, outweigh the benefits of housing delivery even in the context of an absent five-year housing land supply.
The benefit of providing a new dwelling and modest economic benefits were outweighed by the significant adverse impact on the living conditions of the adjacent flat and the failure to secure adequate living conditions for future occupants; the design deficiencies mean the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole
