Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers in terms of light, outlook, ventilation and private outdoor space
What decided it
The proposed development would result in a poor quality living environment for future occupiers, particularly the basement flat, which would be unduly oppressive due to restricted outlook, inadequate natural light, and reliance on mechanical ventilation, conflicting with policy D6 of the London Plan 2021 and the Housing SPG 2012.
The benefits of one additional flat and contribution to housing targets in a sustainable location were outweighed by the harm to living conditions for future occupiers through inadequate light, outlook, ventilation and private outdoor space.
Plan policies cited: Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Housing SPG 2012, Policy 7D of the Ealing Development Management DPD
