Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged development complies with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Local Plan Policy CL7 and Basement Supplementary Planning Document
- The effects of the alleged development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents
- The effects of the alleged development on surface water and sewer flooding
- The effects of the alleged development on highway and pedestrian safety
- The effects of the alleged development on the structural stability of nearby buildings, including the mews arch which is a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The balance between the harm already caused by the completed two-storey basement works and the greater harm that would result from infilling half the basement void, combined with the availability of a 4m single-storey basement as an acceptable alternative that would accord with the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy CL7, Policy CL5, Policy CE6, Policy CE2, Policy CL4, Basement Supplementary Planning Document (April 2016)
