Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class M of the GPDO, having particular regard to the provisions of paragraph M.1(c) and (d)
  • Whether it would be undesirable for a part of the building to change to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses), having particular regard to the impact of the change of use on the adequate provision of services

What decided it

The building's extended vacancy of over three years combined with site constraints limiting realistic prospects of retail reuse, coupled with the retention of a small retail unit, meant it would not be undesirable for the building to change to residential use.
