Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupiers of the ground floor flat (Flat 1) and the first and second floor flat (Flat 2), with particular regard to the amount of floor space which would be provided
What decided it
The proposed ground floor flat (Flat 1) would fall significantly short of the minimum floorspace standards set out in the Technical Housing Standards and London Plan Policy D6, providing substandard accommodation that would be harmful to the living conditions of future occupiers.
The limited social and economic benefits of a net increase of one dwelling to the housing stock were afforded only moderate weight and did not outweigh the harm caused by the substandard accommodation in Flat 1.
