Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the Borough's stock of family housing
- whether the property provides acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with particular regard to the provision of internal living space
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The material change of use results in the loss of family housing contrary to adopted development plan policies that specifically seek to protect and increase family housing stock, and this conflict with the development plan is not outweighed by material considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy S6, Policy H4, Policy H1, Policy S1, Policy SP1, Policy SP2, Policy SP3, Policy SP8, London Plan Policy GG4, London Plan Policy D6, London Plan Policy D4, London Plan Policy D14
