Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to the studio unit
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to private amenity space
- Whether the development would be acceptable in terms of its transport and highways impacts, with particular regard to vehicular parking
What decided it
Appeal A's pitched roof design for the rear studio unit avoided unacceptable enclosure to neighbouring occupiers and provided satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers in accordance with London Plan Policy D6, whereas Appeal B's flat roof design and poor outlook failed these tests.
