Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the loss of the commercial use
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of its current and future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, private external space, and cycle storage
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The moderately harmful loss of commercial use combined with moderately harmful living conditions for occupants, particularly regarding outlook, private external space, and cycle storage, were not outweighed by the limited housing benefits.
