Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development has sufficient refuse storage and cycle provision
  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions of nearby occupiers having regard to noise
  • whether occupiers of the appeal property have adequate living conditions having particular regard to relevant internal space standards
  • the effect of the development on achieving a mixed balance of housing uses within the community

What decided it

The development does not provide adequate living conditions for occupiers with regard to internal space, being in conflict with Policies CP4, DMD5 and DMD8 which require high quality accommodation with well-designed, flexible functional layouts and adequate size rooms fit for purpose.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy CP4 of the Core Strategy, Policy CP5 of the Core Strategy, Policy CP30 of the Core Strategy, Policy DMD5 of the Development Management Document, Policy DMD6 of the Development Management Document, Policy DMD8 of the Development Management Document, Policy DMD37 of the Development Management Document, Policy DMD68 of the Development Management Document
