Authority: London Borough of Haringey
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: White P

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the existing dwelling is of a size sufficient for conversion
the effects of the development on car parking in the area in respect of highway safety and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
the effects of the proposed development on the stock of family-sized dwellings in the Borough

What decided it

The existing dwelling falls below the 120sqm minimum floorspace requirement in Policy DM16, making it unsuitable for conversion, and the cumulative effect of the proposed extensions would harm the character and appearance of the area.

Plan policies cited: DM DPD Policy DM16, London Plan Policy D6, Haringey Local Plan Strategic Policies 2013-2026 Policy SP2

Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
