Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would ensure acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to safety and security
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of Hyh House, with regard to outlook from the amenity space
- whether the proposed development would ensure acceptable waste management
What decided it
The fundamental concerns regarding the narrow access lane and limited natural surveillance would result in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to safety and security, and the proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the outlook from the neighbouring amenity space at Hyh House.
the benefits of the proposed development, afforded moderate weight, would not outweigh the substantial harm in relation to the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to safety and security and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Hyh House with regard to outlook
