Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed 2-bedroom dwelling would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, outlook, floor-to-ceiling height and private amenity space
- whether the occupants of the 5-bedroom dwelling would have adequate living conditions with particular regard to floor-to-ceiling height and privacy
- the effect of using the front forecourt of the 2-bedroom dwelling as a primary outdoor amenity area on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The long-term harm to the living conditions of occupants and the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply contribution, even applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The benefits of housing supply contribution and local economic benefits weigh significantly in favour, but the adverse impacts on living conditions and character and appearance attract greater significant weight that outweighs the benefits, resulting in dismissal.
