®Planning appeal decision
69 Sidney Street, LONDON, E1 2EU
the conversion of a 8 bedroom (currently a HMO) family home into 3 separate dwellings. Three flats comprising the following:
- Authority
- London Borough of Tower Hamlets
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Change of use
- Inspector
- Sibley G
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable housing mix, having particular regard to the supply of family homes in the Borough
- Whether or not future occupiers would have acceptable living conditions, having particular regard to living space and private amenity space
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate refuse arrangements
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ford Square Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would result in the net loss of a family home and fail to provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of two of the three proposed flats due to insufficient space and amenity provision, contrary to the development plan.
The preservation of the conservation area character and adequate cycle storage did not outweigh the harm caused through inadequate housing mix, internal and external layout deficiencies, and lack of suitable refuse arrangements.
