Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of proposed Flat 4 with particular reference to the matters of internal space, outlook, light and ventilation
- The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the subdivision of the garden
What decided it
The failure of Flat 4 to meet the minimum internal space standards required by London Plan Policy D6, particularly in respect of floorspace, built-in storage and ceiling height, means appropriate living conditions would not be provided for future occupiers, and no material consideration of sufficient weight overrides this policy conflict.
Framework references: 231
Plan policies cited: Policy D6, Policy D3, Policy DM1, Policy DM26, Policy DM27
