Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of family sized accommodation
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupants with regard to private outdoor amenity space for the first floor flat
What decided it
The loss of family-sized accommodation and inadequate private outdoor amenity space for the first floor flat, when weighed against the modest housing benefit, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under the tilted balance test.
The modest benefit of one additional residential unit on a brownfield site with good access to services and facilities, and temporary economic benefits during construction, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm of loss of family-sized accommodation and unacceptable living conditions regarding private outdoor amenity space.
