Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to daylight, outlook, noise, privacy and sunlight
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate accommodation for future occupants with regard to fire safety
What decided it
Unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents from loss of daylight and outlook, combined with insufficient fire safety information, was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.
the identified harms to living conditions (daylight and outlook) and inadequate fire safety information were not outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery, site regeneration, energy efficient design and biodiversity enhancement
