Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the provision of employment space
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers, with regard to outlook, light, the provision of outdoor amenity space and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed development would result in a harmful loss of a Local Employment Site contrary to Policy BE3, as the appellant failed to demonstrate that continued employment use is unviable, and would not provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook and insufficient quality outdoor amenity space.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE3, Policy DMP1, Policy BH13, Policy BT1, Policy BT2, Brent Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 1 2018
