Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• the effect of the development on the provision of employment floorspace
• whether the development makes appropriate provision for its users, with particular regard to outdoor space, daylight, access, and safety
• the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
• whether any harm identified, including conflict with the development plan, would be outweighed by other considerations

What decided it

The cumulative and considerable harm from loss of employment floorspace, inadequate provision for the Yeshiva's users (daylight, access and safety), and harm to neighbours' living conditions (outlook and privacy) was not outweighed by the benefits of advancing equality of opportunity or the need for this specific Yeshiva.

Significant weight to advancing equality of opportunity and moderate weight to the need for this specific Yeshiva, even taken together, did not outweigh the considerable harm from loss of employment floorspace, inadequate provision for users, and harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions.
