- Inspector
- Redford R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect to Schedule 2, Part 3, Class M(b) of the GPDO
- If the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether it would be undesirable for the ground floor of the building to change use, specifically its effect on the sustainability of a key shopping area
- Whether it would provide adequate natural light in all habitable rooms, with specific regard to the bedroom of proposed unit 1
What decided it
Development had commenced on site before prior approval was granted, which means prior approval cannot be granted and planning permission must be sought instead.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
