Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the outbuilding and the extensions to the house on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the dwellinghouse in the extension provides suitable living conditions
What decided it
The new dwelling created in the extension lacks adequate internal space at 66 sqm against a minimum requirement of 84 sqm for a three-bedroom four-person house, failing to provide accommodation fit for purpose under Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021.
