Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the function of the designated Strategic Industrial Location and the supply of sites for industrial purposes
  • Whether the development provides an acceptable standard of living conditions for its occupiers, with particular regard to noise, air quality and living facilities
  • Whether the development supports sustainable means of transport with particular regard to cycle storage

What decided it

The development does not provide satisfactory living conditions to its occupiers in terms of noise disturbance and causes harm to the supply of commercial and industrial premises and the function of the designated Strategic Industrial Location.

The benefits of providing flexible and affordable HMO accommodation were outweighed by the harm to the SIL function and the unacceptable living conditions for occupiers due to noise disturbance.
