712 Greenford Road, GREENFORD, UB6 8QR

conversion of single dwelling into three flats and single storey extension

Authority: London Borough of Ealing
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Reid L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the standard of residential accommodation for future occupiers with respect to aspect, amenity space and the size of the internal floor area
the level of parking and the effect on highway safety
the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants at 710 Greenford Road with regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The unsatisfactory standard of residential accommodation for future occupiers, particularly the single-aspect nature of two flats and poor quality of amenity space, combined with the highway safety risk from the inadequate parking crossover, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not indicate it should be decided otherwise.
