Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to internal and external space
- whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
- whether the proposal would provide adequate storage for refuse and recycling
- the effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing in Waltham Forest
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the minimum internal space standards and outdoor space requirements set by Policy 20 of the adopted Local Plan, resulting in unduly cramped living conditions for future occupiers.
Plan policies cited: Policy 20, Policy 53, Policy 56, Policy 57, Appendix 1 – Parking Standards
