Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed conversion on the mix of housing in the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers in relation to privacy, noise and external amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would result in the loss of family-sized accommodation and fail to accord with Policies DMH 2 and DMH 4 of the Development Management Policies and Policy H10 of the London Plan, which require housing development to provide a mix of unit sizes reflecting the Borough's need for larger family housing.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMH 4, Policy DMH 2, Policy H10, Policy DMH 1, Policy DMHB 18, Policy DMHB 15, Policy D6
