Authority: Royal Borough of Greenwich
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Pattison B
Postcode: SE18 7TF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the future occupiers of the proposals would have acceptable living conditions
In relation to Appeal B only, whether the proposal would be capable of achieving compliance with Building Regulation Requirement M4(2)

What decided it

Appeal A was allowed because the proposal would accord with the development plan and Framework; Appeal B was dismissed because the inadequate provision for M4(2) accessible accommodation would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefits under the tilted balance test.

Appeal B: the modest contribution to housing supply and efficient use of previously developed land were outweighed by the significant harm arising from failure to provide M4(2) compliant accessible accommodation, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy H(c)Policy H5Policy DH1Policy D3Policy D4Policy D5Policy D6Policy D7
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 130
