Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 4 St Georges Passage and Flat 2, 8 St Georges Passage, with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The unacceptable loss of daylight to neighbouring occupiers at 4 St Georges Passage and Flat 2, 8 St Georges Passage, combined with overbearing effects, which substantially harms their living conditions and conflicts with development plan policies requiring compatibility with neighbouring uses.

The substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions attracted considerable weight and outweighed the limited weight given to housing delivery and economic benefits, with remaining matters carrying only neutral weight
