The loft (Room 5) given its contrived layout and lack of adequate head height under the 2.5m height for 75% floorspace minimum requirement would not be fit for purpose, provide substandard quality of accommodation to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers. As such, the proposal would not satisfy The London Plan (2021), policies D5 and D6 and Development Management: Development Plan Document (2013) policy 7B, Ealing's Local Plan Reg.22 policy DAA, National Planning Policy Framework 2025 - section 12, Housing Design Standards (GLA) and Ealing's Housing in Multiple Occupation Guidance

Due to the provision of kitchen sinks, worktops with the rooms, and in particular their constrained locations within Rooms 4 and 5 the proposal is considered to result in substandard self-contained accommodation to the detriment of the amenities and living conditions of future occupiers of the property. As such the proposal is contrary to the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework 2025 - section 12, policies D3, D6 and D14 of the London Plan (2021), Housing Design Standards LPG, the Mayor's Housing SPG, policies 7.4, 7B and 7D of Ealing's Adopted Development Management DPD (2013) and Policy DAA of Ealing's Local Plan (Regulation 22).

The unauthorised use is likely to increased demand for on-street parking in an already congested area contrary to policies T1 and T6 of the London Plan (2021).

The as-built drawings submitted with the application are manifestly inaccurate when compared to what is on site currently. The impact of the development on the character of the area and host dwelling and the amenity of neighbouring properties and future occupants cannot be accurately determined in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework 2025 - section 12, Policies D3 and D6 of the London Plan (2021), Policies 7A, 7B and 7.4 of the Ealing Development Management DPD (2013), Policy DAA of Ealing's Local Plan (Reg.22) and Ealing's Housing Design Guidance (2022).
