Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate type of housing with regard to identified need
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for occupants of the appeal site, with particular regard to internal space standards
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate cycle and refuse storage facilities
- whether the proposed development would provide appropriate water conservation and air quality preservation measures
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan by reducing family-sized housing in breach of Policy H11.1 and failing to meet internal space standards required by Policy D6 of the London Plan and Policy D12.3 of the Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy H11.1, Policy H11.2, Policy H11.3, Policy D12.3, Policy D6, Policy T5, Policy SI1, Policy SI2, Policy SI5, Policy SI13, Policy SI7, Policy SI8, Policy P15.10, Policy W14.4, Policy T16.1, Policy T16.2
