Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would result in the loss of existing light industrial space
- whether there is sufficient justification for the provision of a parking space
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the host property as a locally listed building and the Kennington Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with Policy ED1 (loss of business space within a KIBA) and Policy T7 (unjustified parking provision in an area of excellent public transport accessibility) meant it departed from the Development Plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify the departure.
The preservation of the character of the Kennington Conservation Area and locally listed building was outweighed by the loss of business space within a KIBA and the unjustified provision of parking in an area of excellent public transport accessibility.
