Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
  • The effect on the living conditions of future occupants with regard to internal and external space
  • Whether or not the proposal would provide accessible housing

What decided it

The proposal's failure to meet London Plan minimum internal space standards for bedrooms and external amenity space requirements, combined with inadequate accessible design, outweighed the benefits of additional housing supply.
