Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the supply of houses with shared facilities in Tower Hamlets
  • the effect of the proposal on the highway network, with particular reference to servicing arrangements and cycle storage
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision for waste storage

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully reduce the supply of houses with shared facilities in Tower Hamlets contrary to Policies D.H7 and S.H1 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan and Policy H8 of the London Plan, and the management plan offered insufficient enforceable protection to ensure the primacy of long-term residential use.

Framework references: 215

Plan policies cited: Policy D.H7, Policy S.H1, Policy H8, Policy D.TC6, Policy D.TR2, Policy D.TR3, Policy T5, Policy D.MW3, Policy SI7
