Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupiers of the appeal property, with regard to internal space
What decided it
The proposal extends an existing dwelling rather than creating a new dwelling, and the resulting shortfall against the Nationally Described Space Standard would be relatively minor, such that acceptable living conditions would be provided and the proposal would not conflict with the relevant development plan policies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 56 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1: Shaping the Borough 2020–2035 (2024)Policy 16 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1: Shaping the Borough 2020–2035 (2024)Policy 48 of the Waltham Forest Local Plan Part 1: Shaping the Borough 2020–2035 (2024)Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021)
