Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of 565 Fulham Road, with particular regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
- whether the proposal would accord with local development plan policies with particular regard to the best use of land, and the provision of affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable living conditions for occupants of 565 Fulham Road through significant reductions in daylight and sunlight to a first floor bedroom and substantially poor outlook from rear-facing windows, which harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of providing eight new residential units and making efficient use of a previously developed site.
