Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to amenity space, light, outlook, privacy, disturbance and access
What decided it
The unacceptable outlook, poor quality amenity space and potential for undue disturbance to future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing supply benefit.
The modest housing benefit of one dwelling in an urban location with good access to services and public transport was outweighed by the unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly the enclosed outlook, poor quality external amenity space and disturbance from adjacent commercial uses.
