Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 3 Stainforth Road having regard to outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, having regard to the quality of internal accommodation and the provision of outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for both the occupants of the neighbouring property and the future occupants of the proposed dwelling, which would result in significant harm that substantially and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefits.
the modest benefits of housing provision and visual enhancement were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupants and the poor quality of internal accommodation and outdoor amenity space for future occupants
