Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the ground floor extension accords with design policies and the development plan
  • Whether the material change of use to two self-contained flats at lower ground floor level is acceptable

What decided it

The ground floor extension was well-designed, of appropriate scale and mass with complementary materials that maintained the independence and character of adjacent buildings, according with London Plan Policies 3.5 and 7.6, Core Strategy Policy 24 and Development Management Plan Policy 1.

Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy 3.5, London Plan Policy 7.6, Core Strategy Policy 24, Development Management Plan Policy 1
