Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants
  • Whether, having regard to development plan policy, the proposed development would result in a harmful loss of employment space
  • Whether the proposed development would make satisfactory provision for refuse storage and cycle storage

What decided it

The proposed development would provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupants due to inadequate outlook and light in the kitchen and absence of outdoor amenity space, combined with unjustified loss of employment floorspace and inadequate refuse and cycle storage provision.

Plan policies cited: Policy D.H7, Policy D.H3, Policy D.DH8, Policy D5, Policy D6, Policy D.EMP3, Policy D.EMP4, Policy S.EMP1, Policy D.MW3, Policy D.TR3, Policy T5
