Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether acceptable living conditions are provided for the occupiers of the development, with particular regard to internal room sizes
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development provides unacceptably small internal room sizes that fail to meet Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021 and do not provide adequate living conditions for occupiers, which significantly outweighs any other considerations.
the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions and the benefits of housing provision in an area with high housing need were significantly outweighed by the unacceptable harm caused by inadequate internal room sizes and poor living conditions for the occupiers of the development
