Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the vitality and viability of Newham's town and local centres
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space, daylight, sunlight and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of surrounding properties, with particular regard to sunlight, privacy and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on sustainable travel
- The appropriateness of the proposed development's waste strategy
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of affordable housing
What decided it
The cumulative harm from conflicts with development plan policies on town centre vitality, character and appearance, living conditions for future and neighbouring occupiers, sustainable travel, waste management, and affordable housing provision meant the proposal did not represent sustainable development and failed to comply with the development plan as a whole.
