Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the loss of floor space of an existing family sized home would be acceptable
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to the provision of internal space, outdoor amenity space and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate cycle storage
What decided it
The proposal's failure to comply with Policy H4 of the Newham Local Plan regarding the loss of family housing floor space, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and lack of cycle storage, outweighed the limited benefits of efficient land use.
