Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and external amenity space
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with reference to privacy and potential noise and general disturbance

What decided it

The combination of poor outlook, inadequate daylight, lack of usable external amenity space for future occupiers, and significant harm to neighbouring residents' privacy and amenity through close-range overlooking and intensified courtyard activity outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
