Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing in the borough
Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space and facilities

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of existing family-sized housing with no re-provision, conflicting with local plan policies that seek to protect the supply of family housing in the borough.

Plan policies cited: Policy D.H7, Policy D.H2, Policy D.H3, London Plan Policy D6
