Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to 9a Artillery Passage and 52-54 Artillery Lane
- Whether the proposed development makes sufficient provision of refuse storage and collection, cycle parking provision, and step-free access
What decided it
The effect on neighbouring amenity would not be so great as to warrant refusal, particularly given the neutral overall impact on 9a Artillery Passage's rear yard and the lesser effect on the commercial ground floor of 52-54 Artillery Lane.
