Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would result in adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal floorspace and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The insufficient internal floorspace and external amenity space would result in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of housing supply contribution.
the modest contribution to housing supply in a sustainable location was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the unacceptable living conditions arising from insufficient internal floorspace and outdoor amenity space
