Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character of the area and on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with regard to internal space and outlook
What decided it
The intensification of residential activity arising from occupation by three unrelated individuals, resulting in undue noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers and harmful erosion of the established character of the area, outweighs the limited benefits of the scheme.
the limited benefits of the scheme do not outweigh the identified harm to neighbouring living conditions and character of the area or the conflict with the development plan
Plan policies cited: Policy 9 of the Bromley Local Plan (2019), Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan (2019), Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021)
