Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether suitable living conditions would be provided for occupiers of the proposed development with particular regard to internal living space

What decided it

The identified shortfall in internal living space below the Nationally Described Space Standards, which attracts significant weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of additional housing even under the tilted balance.

The substantial weight given to the provision of additional housing in an area of persistent under-delivery was outweighed by the significant weight attributed to the harm arising from insufficient internal living space falling below an acceptable standard.
