Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing and proposed dwelling, having regard to internal space and access for people with disabilities
- the provision of affordable housing
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's failure to meet internal space standards under London Plan Policy D6 and failure to provide affordable housing in accordance with development plan policies rendered it unacceptable.
The local plan's justified requirement for affordable housing on small sites, reflecting acute housing affordability issues in the borough, outweighed the national policy position against affordable housing on non-major developments; however, this was overridden by the fundamental conflict with internal space standards and the lack of demonstrated affordable housing contribution.
