Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to floor to ceiling height
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide adequate floor to ceiling heights in the upper floor unit, particularly in the front loft bedroom, thereby harming the living conditions of future occupiers in breach of Policy D6 of the London Plan and related local policies.
The benefits of one additional housing unit and efficient use of land were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions arising from inadequate floor to ceiling heights; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
