Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The implications of the change of use for the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal flats and nearby dwellings
  • The effect of the change of use on the supply of family homes

What decided it

The alleged flats fail to meet minimum space standards and would result in unacceptably poor living conditions for occupiers and unacceptable noise disturbance to neighbouring residents, conflicting with London Plan Policies D5, D6 and GG4 and local plan policies requiring good quality homes.

Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy D6, London Plan Policy D5, London Plan Policy GG4, London Plan Policy D14, London Plan Policy T5, London Plan Policy H10, London Plan Policy H1, NLP Policy SP1, NLP Policy SP2, NLP Policy SP3, NLP Policy SP8, NLP Policy H1, NLP Policy H4
