Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed loss of employment floorspace is justified
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of units A1 and A2, with particular regard to outlook; privacy; light; ventilation; noise and disturbance
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of units A2 and A6, with regard to space standards
- whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for promoting sustainable forms of transport
What decided it
The proposal conflicted with the development plan on multiple grounds—loss of employment land without justification, harm to character and appearance, unacceptable living conditions in ground floor units, inadequate space standards, and failure to secure car-free development—and no other considerations outweighed these findings.
