Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space
  • the effect of the proposal on the supply of family housing in the borough
  • whether the proposal would provide for adequate means of site management

What decided it

The presumption in favour of sustainable development under Framework Policy S3 applied because the adverse effects of inadequate internal space did not substantially outweigh the benefits of providing a more effective use of land and contributing to housing mix.

the adverse effects arising from inadequate internal space for one occupant did not substantially outweigh the benefits of more effective land use, housing mix diversity, and alignment with Framework policies seeking homes to meet community needs, therefore the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied

Plan policies cited: Policy LP26, Policy LP29, Policy LP5, Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policy H9 of the London Plan (2021)
