Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area, including proposed lighting
  • the effect of the proposal on public safety
  • the effect of the proposed development on opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour

What decided it

The proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the South Shoreditch Conservation Area by replacing an existing unit with a smaller, slimmer footprint that would not erode the historic form and pattern of development, and no evidence supported the Council's concerns about crime and anti-social behaviour.

Framework references: 12, 16

Plan policies cited: Policy D4, Policy D8, Policy HC1, Policy PP1, Policy LP1, Policy LP3, Policy LP42
