93 Uphall Road, Ilford, IG1 2JJ

Planning appeal 3280052 at 93 Uphall Road, Ilford, IG1 2JJ (London Borough of Redbridge) was allowed on 12 October 2022 by Inspector White P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the property is suitable for use as a large HMO, with particular regard to the effects of the proposed development on the supply of family dwellings in the Borough and the character of the area and whether it would provide adequate living conditions for occupiers.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the property is suitable for use as a large HMO, with particular regard to the effects of the proposed development on the supply of family dwellings in the Borough and the character of the area and whether it would provide adequate living conditions for occupiers
whether any harm would be outweighed by other material considerations

What decided it

The Borough's failure of the Housing Delivery Test and the limited need for 5-bedroom dwellings meant the contribution to housing supply for smaller households outweighed the limited conflict with RLP Policy LP6.

The limited conflict with RLP Policy LP6 was outweighed by the benefits of the development in terms of its contribution to housing delivery for smaller households, given the Borough's significant shortfall in housing delivery.
