Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of Havelock Barn, with particular reference to privacy and outlook
• Whether or not the appeal site would represent an appropriate location for the proposed dwellings having regard to accessibility to services and facilities

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the occupants of Havelock Barn through overbearing impact and perception of overlooking, which would be substantially outweighed by the benefits only if the proposal accorded with the national decision-making policies in the Framework, but it conflicts with Policy DP3.

applying Policy S4 of the Framework, the significant weight afforded to the benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing contribution, biodiversity net gain and visual enhancements would be substantially outweighed by the substantial weight afforded to the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions and the conflict with Policy DP3 of the Framework
