Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the proposed development would have on the supply of industrial land
- Whether or not the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to outlook from ground floor flats
What decided it
The unjustified loss of employment land in conflict with the development plan, combined with unacceptable living conditions for future ground floor flat occupiers due to severely compromised outlook, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contribution.
The benefits of nine new homes and affordable housing contribution (moderate weight) were outweighed by the unjustified loss of employment land and unsuitable living conditions for future occupiers (considerable weight), resulting in dismissal.
