Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed loss of office space is justified
  • whether the proposal would provide a suitable mix and type of dwelling types, including accessible and affordable housing
  • whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for open space and trees

What decided it

The failure to provide a satisfactory mix and type of dwellings with no affordable housing provision, combined with lack of open space and tree planting, resulted in conflict with the adopted Local Plan that could not be overcome by the justified loss of office space or acceptable design and heritage considerations.
