Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the supply of employment floorspace in the Borough
  • whether the proposed development would provide an even mix of dwelling sizes
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular regard to internal and external space
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 242A Bethnal Green Road with particular regard to outlook, privacy and daylight / sunlight
  • whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for refuse and recycling
  • whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for cycle storage

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the up-to-date development plan in respect of employment floorspace loss, housing mix requirements, and living conditions for both future and neighbouring occupiers, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise.
