Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the developments upon the principle of mixed communities (for the purposes of Policy 8(ii) of the Havering Local Plan 2016-2031)
- the living conditions of adjoining residents through noise and disturbance
- the living conditions of occupants of the appeal premises
- parking provision
What decided it
The 3-month compliance period is reasonable because occupants have alternative means of acquiring housing beyond social housing waiting lists, including private lettings.
