Delegated decision: Refused · Nurgul Kinli
Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
The proposed conversion would result in the loss of a 3-bedroom family dwelling and fails to
provide adequate compensatory family accommodation, leading to a net reduction in family housing
within the borough. This outcome undermines the Council's strategic objective to increase the supply
of larger (3+ bedroom) units, which are essential to meeting the housing needs of families. The
proposal is therefore contrary to Section 5 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policy
GG4 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CP5 of the Core Strategy (2010), Policies DMD4 and DMD5 of
the Development Management Document (2014), and the Council's Strategic Housing Market
Assessment (SHMA 2015).
