Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for existing and future occupiers with particular regard to living accommodation
What decided it
The absence of floor-to-ceiling height dimensions on the submitted plans meant the Inspector could not verify compliance with the minimum 2.5 metre requirement for 75% of gross internal area, and a condition could not remedy this uncertainty without potentially requiring scheme changes and further consultation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D6 of The London PlanPolicy DM 26 of the Harrow Development Management Policies DocumentPolicy DM 1 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Document
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
