Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development will provide adequate living conditions for existing occupiers of the flats, with particular reference to privacy, noise and disturbance
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed cycle storage arrangements comply with local policy and guidance
- Whether the development will result in an unacceptable loss of business/industrial space in the Borough
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on living conditions of the occupiers due to noise, disturbance and privacy concerns from the adjacent commercial uses, combined with the failure to provide adequate cycle storage and the insufficient evidence to justify the loss of office space, collectively outweighed any benefits of the scheme.
