Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular reference to the provision of private external amenity space
What decided it
The absence of any private external amenity space for the proposed dwelling would result in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, conflicting with the development plan.
The negligible contribution to housing supply and absence of highway safety harm were not sufficient to outweigh the harm to living conditions of future occupiers; the proposal conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
