Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for occupiers of the property, with particular regard to internal space and levels of daylight and sunlight
  • whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory urban greening factor and suitable drainage arrangements

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide suitable living conditions for occupiers, particularly regarding floor-to-ceiling heights and daylight to the basement, and fails to demonstrate achievement of the required urban greening factor, with limited community benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
