Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal property with regards to size of the dwelling, outdoor amenity space, personal, cycle and refuse storage and garden maintenance
- The effect of the use on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal property and neighbouring dwellings having particular regard to noise and disturbance and its effect upon the character of the area
- Whether the use accords with development plan policies concerning the loss of a purpose built family dwelling
What decided it
The appeal scheme fails to achieve adequate living conditions in terms of floorspace and private amenity space for occupants, and would materially compromise living conditions through increased noise and disturbance, while conflicting with development plan policies protecting family housing provision.
Plan policies cited: LP Policy DMP1, LP Policy BH7, LP Policy BH13, LP Policy BH10, LP Policy BH11, Policy D6 of The London Plan (2021), Policy CP21 of the Brent Core Strategy (2010)
