Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal represents an overdevelopment due to the inadequate residential amenity of the scheme for future occupiers

What decided it

The proposal would not represent overdevelopment of the site as it would create acceptable standards of residential amenity for future occupants and would accord with the development plan policies relating to housing quality, design standards, and character and appearance.

The benefits of providing 8 residential units as a windfall site contributing to London's housing need, with an acceptable mix of accommodation and no loss of family-sized units, outweighed any concerns regarding the scale and form of the development, which would be compatible with the character of the area and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity.
