Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on employment land
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the residential units

What decided it

The conflict with Policy ED2 objectives for the Employment Area and the unacceptable living conditions for future residential occupiers due to noise and limited amenity, which outweighed the housing delivery shortfall.

The harm to employment land objectives and living conditions of future occupiers outweighed the borough-wide requirement for new housing despite the Housing Delivery Test shortfall.
