Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.93 North Parade with particular regard to outlook and the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.95 North Parade with particular regard to outlook and overshadowing
- whether the proposal would provide an adequate standard of living accommodation for future occupiers with particular regard to internal space standards and outlook
What decided it
The substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the inadequate internal space standards for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and brownfield development.
The benefits of housing delivery, windfall development, brownfield reuse and economic benefits were outweighed by the substantial harm to living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers, even accounting for the Council's housing land supply shortfall and the objective to boost housing supply.
