Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the availability and choice of housing within Wandsworth
  • The effect of the development on the local visitor economy and infrastructure

What decided it

The loss of residential units caused by the unauthorised change of use is substantially harmful to development plan policies protecting housing supply and the Framework's objective to boost housing supply, and this harm is not outweighed by the limited short-term economic benefits to the visitor economy.
