Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether future occupiers of the appeal development would be provided with adequate living conditions, with particular regard to external private space
- outlook
What decided it
The inadequate provision of external private space and poor outlook for future occupiers, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply in a sustainable location when assessed against Framework policies taken as a whole.
The adverse impacts of inadequate external private space and poor outlook would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of a small contribution to housing supply in a sustainable location, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
