What decided it
The material consideration that the loss of a very small amount of office floorspace in a mixed-use premises with limited demand, combined with the contribution to housing supply and absence of material harm to office supply, outweighed the conflict with development plan policies.
The loss of a very small amount of office floorspace within a mixed use premises contrary to Policies LP40 and LP41 was outweighed by the provision of a modestly sized residence to housing supply and the absence of material harm to the range or supply of small office spaces within the area.
