Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be justified in the proposed location, having regard to the identified need for housing types and tenure, and accessibility by sustainable modes of transport
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to internal space and outlook
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate an identified need for a HMO in accordance with Policy HOU04 and would result in loss of a priority three-bedroom dwelling, conflicting with Policy HOU02's dwelling size priorities.
Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy H9, London Plan Policy D3, London Plan Policy D6, Barnet Local Plan Policy HOU04, Barnet Local Plan Policy HOU02, Barnet Local Plan Policy CDH01
