Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal complies with the development plan as a whole and the addition of six new homes of good quality to the Borough housing stock, in line with adopted local and national policy, carries material planning weight in favour of the appeal.
The benefits of housing delivery and compliance with development plan policies outweighed the concerns about loss of garden space and effects on neighbouring amenity.

- Policy SP11 of the Haringey Local PlanPolicies D5-6 of the London PlanDevelopment Management Policies 1 and 12DM Policy 7
