Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effects of the proposal on living conditions at the neighbouring property, 34 Long Furlong Drive, in terms of light and outlook
  • Living conditions of future occupiers of 32 Long Furlong Drive, in terms of garden space

What decided it

The proposal would leave insufficient rear garden space for future occupiers of a 4-bedroom house, conflicting with Local Plan policy H15 and the Supplementary Planning Document guidance, and this harm was sufficiently compelling to outweigh the presumption in favour of development.

Although Framework policy S4 sets a general presumption in favour of development within settlements, the conflict with policy L2 (which requires development to maintain acceptable living standards including external amenity space) and the sufficiently compelling findings regarding inadequate garden space for future occupiers meant the proposal should not succeed.
