The loss of this residential unit through the amalgamation of the two dwellings would reduce the supply and choice of housing available within the Borough and would fail to contribute towards meeting housing targets, and fail to address housing needs for the Borough and London as a whole, in not ensuring a net increase in residential accommodation.
