Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the personal safety of occupiers of the residential accommodation on the upper floors of the building, with particular regard to means of fire escape
What decided it
The Fire Risk Assessment did not identify concerns with means of fire escape, and there was no substantive evidence that an external staircase was needed for the existing flats, undermining the Council's principal refusal reason.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- London Plan 2021 Policy D12Haringey Development Management DPD (2017) Policy DM2London Plan 2021 Policy HC1Haringey Development Management DPD (2017) Policy DM9
