Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 207 Lower Blandford Road in respect of outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed development in respect of outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for biodiversity net gain (BNG)

What decided it

The substantial and long-lasting harm to the privacy of both existing occupiers of No.207 and future occupiers of the proposed building, which conflicts with the development plan and Framework policies on liveability and design, substantially outweighs the housing delivery benefits.

The benefits of providing 3 dwellings on previously developed land in a sustainable location, given the shortfall in five-year housing land supply (2.55 years), were substantially outweighed by the substantial and long-lasting harm to privacy of existing and future occupiers, assessed against the Framework's national decision-making policies.
