Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the loss of employment floorspace within East Finchley town centre would meet the requirements of development plan policy
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living accommodation for future occupiers with regard to the provision of private external amenity space, outlook and light
What decided it
The failure to provide evidence of marketing demonstrating that the employment premises were no longer suitable or viable for use, which is required by Policy DM14 to justify the loss of employment floorspace.
