Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 4 and 6 Mortimer Road through noise and disturbance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The moderate weight afforded to housing supply, self-build provision, economic and social benefits, and design quality was outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, disengaging the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
