Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight and privacy
- Whether the appeal scheme ensures the safety of all building users with respect to fire safety
- Whether the appeal scheme makes satisfactory provision for social rented and intermediate homes
What decided it
The building's material deviation from approved plans resulting in unacceptable loss of sunlight and overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions, combined with unresolved fire safety concerns and failure to provide affordable housing, justified upholding the enforcement notice with a variation allowing compliance with the extant planning permission as an alternative to demolition.
