Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to the internal space and configuration of the flats, and privacy for flat 3
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area

What decided it

Flat 1 would fall significantly short of the minimum internal space standard of 50 sq.m and would not provide a comfortable, functional layout fit for purpose, conflicting with Policy D6 of the London Plan and Policies DM1 and DM26 of the HCDMP.

Plan policies cited: Policy D6 of The London Plan – The Spatial Development Strategy for Greater London – March 2021, Policy DM26 of the Harrow Council Development Management Policies July 2013, Policy DM1 of the Harrow Council Development Management Policies July 2013, Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy CS1.B of the Harrow Core Strategy February 2012, Supplementary Planning Document – Residential Design Guide adopted 15 December 2010
