Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme would result in acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the appeal site, with particular regard to the layout and floorspace in Flat C, the rearward outlook from Flat A, and accessibility
What decided it
The proposed development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding the substandard floorspace and layout of Flat C and the poor outlook and oppressive enclosure of Flat A, which conflicts with Policy D6 of the London Plan and Policies SP4 and DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan, and these policy conflicts are not outweighed by the moderate benefits of the scheme.
Plan policies cited: Policy D6, Policy D7, Policy H2, Policy SP4, Policy SP2, Policy DM10
