Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 37 Great Russell Street, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether a legal agreement to secure a management plan for the short-term let accommodation is required
- whether a legal agreement to secure car-free housing is required
What decided it
The draft Section 106 agreement failed to include a management plan obligation and was incomplete and unsigned, preventing it from securing the necessary mitigation measures required by Policies A1 and T2 of the Camden Local Plan.
Framework references: 58
Plan policies cited: Policy A1, Policy DM1, Policy T2
