Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 3-5 Southend Lane and No 7 Southend Lane having particular regard to matters of outlook
  • the living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to internal space
  • flood risk

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of existing neighbouring occupiers through enclosure and loss of outlook, provide inadequate internal space for future occupiers below nationally described space standards, and fail to demonstrate adequate flood risk mitigation.
