Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: Whether the proposed accommodation would provide adequate living accommodation for future occupiers with regard to internal floorspace provision, outlook and light and access to external amenity space
  • Appeal A: The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
  • Appeal B: Whether the proposed accommodation would provide adequate living accommodation for future occupiers with regard to internal space provision and adequate access to external amenity space

What decided it

Both proposals failed to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding access to external amenity space for family-sized dwellings and, in Appeal A, poor light and outlook to one bedroom, contrary to BLP Policies DMP1 and BH11 and London Plan Policy D6.

Plan policies cited: BLP Policy DMP1, BLP Policy BH11, London Plan Policy D6, Council's Residential Extensions and Alterations Supplementary Planning Document (2018)
