Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- In terms of the loss of employment floorspace whether there is sufficient information available to demonstrate that the premises have been adequately, but unsuccessfully, marketed
- whether the development would give rise to conditions of noise and disturbance detrimental to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- whether changes made since the previous Inspector's decision amounts to appropriate provision for its users with regard to access and safety
What decided it
The Inspector found harm on all three main issues (marketing/employment floorspace, noise to neighbours, and access/safety) with no material considerations outweighing that harm.
the harm identified on all three main issues was not outweighed by any material considerations raised by the appellant, so the appeal on ground (a) failed
