- Authority
- London Borough of Newham
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Change of use
- Inspector
- Cowley R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the change of use is acceptable, with particular regard to strategic housing policies and the effect on the supply of family sized dwellings
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The change of use conflicts with the development plan's strategic policies protecting family housing stock and would cause harmful effects on neighbouring living conditions through increased noise and disturbance, with no material considerations indicating the appeal should be determined otherwise.
