- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants
- Whether or not an affordable housing contribution is required, and if so whether appropriate arrangements have been made
What decided it
The proposed development would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupants contrary to London Plan Policy D6 and Development Management Policy DM3.4, and no planning obligation was in place to secure the required affordable housing contribution.
