Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of East Ham town centre
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, outlook, natural ventilation, privacy and external amenity space
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, town centre vitality, neighbouring living conditions, and future occupier living conditions outweighed the modest benefits of additional housing provision.
