Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed dwelling upon the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties with regard to outlook

What decided it

The harmful effect on the outlook and living conditions of the occupier of the bed-sit at 47 Bridge Road, which conflicts with Policy DEN2 and cannot be justified by the limited housing benefits, even in the context of the Council's housing land supply shortfall.

The limited benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy DEN2
