Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to privacy, daylight, and internal and outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of number 328 Woolwich Road, with regard to privacy and outdoor space
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for cycle, refuse and recycling storage facilities
What decided it
The proposal's failure to meet the nationally described space standards and Policy D6 of the London Plan, resulting in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in the context of the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery and housing mix, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
