Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the loss of business/office space within the area
What decided it
The condition relates to the whole Harrovian Business Village rather than No 4 alone, and removal would create potential for substantial loss of office/business floorspace across the entire complex without sufficient evidence that this would not be harmful to the local economy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM31Policy DM32
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
