Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 65 Cambridge Park regarding outlook
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future residents of the flats regarding outlook, privacy, and the amount, quality and usability of outdoor space
What decided it
The harm to living conditions of both existing and future residents due to substandard design and inadequate amenity space, combined with poor integration into the street scene, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location.
The benefits of housing delivery, efficient use of previously developed land, habitat creation, economic advantages, enhanced accessibility and drainage and energy efficiency were substantially outweighed by fundamental concerns regarding design quality and substandard living conditions for both existing and future residents.
