Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed increase in commercial floorspace would undermine the vitality and viability of designated town and local centres
- Whether rear access to the residential flat on the first floor would provide a legible and secure access for residential occupiers of the upper floor flat
What decided it
The modest nature of the internal reconfiguration and the suitability of the rear access via an established residential mews with natural surveillance and security features satisfied both main issues and accorded with the development plan.
