Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the flats provide satisfactory living accommodation for existing and future occupants
  • Whether sufficient provision would be made for social rented and intermediate homes, or for a financial contribution towards the delivery of new Council social rented and intermediate homes
  • Whether the appeal scheme ensures the safety of all building users with respect to fire safety

What decided it

The flats provide insufficient internal space to meet minimum standards required by policy and would fail to provide satisfactory living accommodation for future occupants, which outweighs the benefit of providing additional homes.

Plan policies cited: Policy P15 of the Southwark Plan 2019-2036, Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Policy P1 of the Southwark Plan, Policy D12 of the London Plan
