Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for its occupants with respect to their outlook and light
  • Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for its occupants with respect to cycle and waste storage

What decided it

The failure to provide satisfactory light and outlook to the kitchen/living/dining room, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefit of providing one additional housing unit even under the tilted balance.

The adverse impacts of poor light and outlook significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing an additional housing unit when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply

Framework references: 11, 130

Plan policies cited: DM12, SP11, DM1, D6 of The London Plan (2021)
