Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for occupiers with regard to internal space
- Whether the development makes adequate provision for affordable housing and climate change mitigation measures
- The effect of the loss of the retail unit
What decided it
The unsatisfactory internal living conditions combined with the lack of affordable housing and climate change mitigation provision outweighed the acceptable finding on loss of the retail unit.
the acceptable position on loss of the retail unit did not outweigh the harm from unsatisfactory living conditions and the lack of affordable housing and climate change mitigation, so the ground (a) appeal failed
