Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The combination of constraints on the narrow, elongated site would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with both units suffering from poor outlook and privacy, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.

the adverse impacts of poor living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy 7 of the Local Plan, Policy D6 of The Spatial Development Strategy for Greater London (the London Plan), Policy 26 of the Local Plan
