Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight and the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Wrens Gardens and future occupiers of Plot 3 through loss of daylight, sunlight, outlook and privacy, combined with inadequate internal and external amenity space for future occupiers, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply in the planning balance.
The benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location and other modest benefits of the scheme were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers, resulting in the proposal not amounting to sustainable development.
