Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not there is justification for the loss of a B8 warehousing unit
- The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of future residents with regards to outlook, light levels and internal ceiling heights
- Whether or not the proposal would prejudice future residential development coming forward as a result of overlooking and loss of privacy
- The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether or not a legal agreement is required to prevent future occupants from acquiring parking permits
- Whether or not there would be adequate cycle parking and refuse facilities
What decided it
The unjustified loss of employment land combined with significant harm to the living conditions of future residents and the character and appearance of the local area outweighed any benefits of the development.
