Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and enclosure
The effect of the proposal on the availability of car parking within the area and parking stress

What decided it

The absence of any valid mechanism to ensure the proposal would be car parking permit free, resulting in a failure to accord with Policy T4 of the development plan.

The benefit of providing additional housing in a sustainable location was outweighed by the failure to mitigate parking stress in an area with existing parking stress and excellent public transport accessibility.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy HO11 of the Hammersmith and Fulham Local Plan (2018)Policy T4 of the Hammersmith and Fulham Local Plan (2018)
