Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including any impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of 9 Saxon Drive arising from the position of the entrance to the ground floor flat, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the development provides adequate cycle and refuse storage facilities
What decided it
The second floor flat's usable floorspace of 29 sqm falls significantly below the 50 sqm minimum requirement for a 1-bed flat under Policy D6 of the London Plan, and this breach of space standards cannot be justified by other material considerations.
Framework references: 130
Plan policies cited: Policy D6, Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy D14, Policy T5, Policy SI7, Policy SI8, Policy 3.5, Policies 7.4, 7A, 7B
