Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space
- Whether the appeal proposal makes suitable provision for cycle parking
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particularly regard to Carlton Square Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the operation of the public house at 213-223 Mile End Road, with particular regard to overshadowing of amenity space
What decided it
The proposed development fails to provide the minimum 5m² of private outdoor amenity space required by London Plan Policy D6 and Local Plan Policy D.H3, and the shortfall cannot be compensated by the modest excess in gross internal area, which falls 2m² short of the 5m² equivalent required by the Mayor's Housing SPG.
