In their own words

“In respect of this application weight is given to housing delivery and it is noted that the proposed development would provide three additional residential units. However, the development will also result in the loss of a viable family sized dwelling, with the existing dwelling accommodating 10 bedrooms in its current form”

23/02583/FUL

“The proposed one-bedroom flats all have separate bedrooms and therefore do not fall within the definition of being a studio. As such the proposed first floor flats fail to meet the requirementsof Table 3.1 of the London Plan”
