Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including that of the host building
- The living conditions of the occupants of the flats within the appeal site by reason of the size of the flats that have been formed and the provision of amenity space
- The living conditions of the area's residents by way of noise and odour arising from the flue
- The living conditions of the occupants of Numbers 112 and 116 Seven Sisters Road by way of loss of light and outlook
- The provision of affordable housing in the Borough
What decided it
The development fails to meet minimum space standards for residential accommodation, causes significant harm to neighbouring properties' living conditions through loss of light and outlook, and breaches design and affordable housing policies without mitigation.
