Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
  • The living conditions of current and future occupiers, with particular regard to the amount and quality of internal living accommodation and external amenity space
  • Parking

What decided it

The appeal scheme fails to meet London Plan internal space standards and provides inadequate outdoor amenity space for three of the four flats, combined with harmful effects on character and appearance through excessive and incoherent extensions.
