Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposed development on employment land provision
- Effect of the proposed development on the significance of designated heritage assets
- Living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to natural light and outlook
- Living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to bicycle use
What decided it
The failure to adequately justify the loss of employment land, combined with less than substantial harm to the Brockley Conservation Area that was not outweighed by the limited public benefits, and inadequate bicycle storage provision that would discourage cycling.
