Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions, with particular reference to internal living space and privacy
- whether or not an affordable housing contribution is necessary to make the proposed development acceptable in planning terms
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to provide adequate internal living space in accordance with the Nationally Described Space Standards and relevant development plan policies, resulting in sub-standard accommodation and unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
Plan policies cited: London Plan 2021 Policy D6, Policy LP17 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020), Policy LP13 of the Hackney Local Plan
