Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the vitality and viability of designated town or local centres
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for occupants, with particular regard to the provision of light and internal and external living space
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and general disturbance
What decided it
The four residential units provide unacceptable living conditions for occupants, falling substantially below minimum space standards and lacking adequate natural light, outlook and private amenity space, contrary to London Plan and local plan housing quality policies.
