Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the developments on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of occupants with specific regard to outdoor amenity space and internal floor space
What decided it
The substantial scale and bulk of both outbuildings render them incongruous and non-subservient features within the residential garden setting, combined with inadequate internal floor space and poor amenity arrangements that fail to meet development plan standards.
The potential benefits of providing affordable residential accommodation were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable living conditions for occupants.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CDH01Policy CDH02Policy CDH07Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021)Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021)
