Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of upper floor flats at 11 and 12 Halliwick Court, with regard to outlook
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to smoke and odour
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area

What decided it

The cumulative adverse impacts on neighbouring outlook and future occupier living conditions from smoke and odour, which were not outweighed by the modest benefits of a single additional dwelling.

The harms to neighbouring and future occupier living conditions attracted significant weight and were not outweighed by the modest benefits of a single additional dwelling and efficient use of a previously developed site.
