Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing in Waltham Forest
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers with particular reference to internal space
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate waste management

What decided it

The loss of a family dwelling combined with substandard internal space standards and inadequate provision for cycle storage and waste management conflicts with the development plan, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be taken otherwise.
