Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of internal floor areas, floor to ceiling heights, built in storage areas, outdoor amenity space, internal layout and aspect
  • whether the proposal would provide a variety of sizes of new homes to meet housing need
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance and privacy

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants in terms of ceiling heights, private external amenity space, and aspect, contrary to Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021.
