Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The applicant has not demonstrated an identified need for the proposed
use which would result in the loss of a family-sized dwelling. It is also considered
that the proposed layout and accommodation would not provide adequate living
conditions for specialist children's residential care. As such, the proposal is
considered contrary to Policies D6, H1 and H12 of the London Plan (2021) and
Policy 3B of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013).
