Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the basement flat provides acceptable living conditions for its occupiers, with particular regard to daylight, outlook, and private amenity space
- The effect of the rear/side extension on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Clapham Common Conservation Area
What decided it
The basement flat fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers due to low daylight levels and extremely poor outlook, contrary to development plan policies requiring dual-aspect accommodation and acceptable amenity standards, whereas the rear/side extension preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area through subservient, high-quality design.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP27, Policy LP2, Policy LP1, Policy LP3, Policy LP5
