Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control had gained immunity from enforcement action by the time the notice was served (Ground d)
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area (Ground a)
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents (Ground a)
  • Whether the unit provides satisfactory living conditions for existing and future residents (Ground a)

What decided it

The accommodation provides unsatisfactory living conditions for existing and future occupiers, failing to meet the internal and external space standards required by policies LP7 and LP29 of the Local Plan and Policy D6 of the London Plan, which is a conflict with the development plan that cannot be outweighed by other material considerations.

Plan policies cited: LP26, LP7, LP29, D6 London Plan
