Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No.14-17 Vernon Court and No.24-32 Vernon Drive, with particular reference to outlook, light and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to sense of enclosure
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of occupiers of No.14-17 Vernon Court through loss of privacy outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the modest two-dwelling scheme.
The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits, such that the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
