Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of internal living space
What decided it
The contribution to meeting London's unmet housing need and the acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, notwithstanding the minor shortfall in overall gross internal floor area, outweighed the conflict with the space standard policy.
The conflict with the minimum overall gross internal floor area standard of Policy D6 was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery and the other material considerations demonstrating acceptable living conditions and design quality.
