Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on viability of the existing commercial unit at the appeal site and of Eltham Town Centre
  • Whether or not the proposed flat would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and a sense of enclosure

What decided it

The poor outlook and oppressive sense of enclosure in the bedroom and study would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high-quality residential environments.

Plan policies cited: Policy TC1, Policy TC3, Policy EA1, Policy EA(a), Policy DH1, Policy H5, Policy SD6, Policy E9, Policy D6
