Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on employment floorspace
- The effect of the proposal on ecology and trees
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the public open space
- Whether the proposal provides adequate living conditions for future occupiers in terms of outlook
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to light
- Whether the proposal provides sufficient levels of affordable housing
What decided it
The significant harm to employment floorspace through loss of business space and introduction of poor quality employment premises, combined with insufficient evidence regarding ecological impacts, outweighed the scheme's benefits including affordable housing provision and housing delivery.
