Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring flats in respect of noise, disturbance and the adequacy of the provision of cycle storage facilities
  • The suitability of the proposed office use in respect of outlook, light, noise and disturbance
  • Whether suitable bin storage capacity would be available for existing and proposed users of the whole of the appeal building

What decided it

The proposal for office use, being a less sensitive use than residential, would have an acceptable internal environment and would not cause material harm to the living conditions of existing occupiers or the suitability of the office space itself.
