- London Borough of Lambeth
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- residential · Change of use
- Inspector
- Cryan M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the appeal property as a larger HMO would be acceptable in terms of its effect on housing supply and the housing mix in the borough
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for all occupiers, with particular regard to the adequacy of kitchen, toilet and bathroom facilities
- Whether the development would adequately promote sustainable means of travel, and mitigate its effects on the surrounding highway and transport networks
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole due to significant shortcomings in living conditions (inadequate kitchen, bathroom and WC facilities) and failure to adequately promote sustainable means of travel and mitigate highway impacts through secured planning obligations.
