Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents and future occupiers with regards to outlook, daylight, sunlight, privacy, outdoor space, noise, disturbance and car parking arrangements
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for both neighbouring residents and future occupiers, particularly regarding outlook, daylight, sunlight, privacy and car parking arrangements, demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply and sustainability benefits.
The modest benefits of two additional dwellings and re-use of previously developed land in an urban location were outweighed by the importance of providing appropriate living standards and high-quality places, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
