Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupiers, by way of the provision of outdoor amenity space, outlook, privacy, ventilation, and natural light
- whether the development provides adequate parking provision
What decided it
The failure to provide any outdoor amenity space for flat 2 resulted in unacceptable living conditions that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits in the planning balance.
The adverse impacts arising from the development in terms of its effect on the living conditions of occupiers would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited weight attributed to the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
