Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effects of the proposal on employment space and the local economy
  • living conditions of future occupiers in relation to outlook and level of private outdoor space
  • living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in relation to outlook and privacy
  • highway safety
  • biodiversity including protected species
  • character and appearance of the area including existing trees

What decided it

The cumulative weight of harm across employment, living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, highway safety, and biodiversity outweighed the singular benefit of preserving and enhancing character and appearance.

Although the proposal would preserve and enhance character and appearance, the cumulative weight of harm to employment space, living conditions of future occupiers, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, highway safety, and biodiversity outweighed this benefit, resulting in dismissal.
