- Inspector
- Normington S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of office space within a Key Existing Office Location
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby properties with particular regard to loss of daylight, outlook, disturbance and privacy
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of the proposed development with particular regard to the amount of useable community space
- Whether adequate provision is made for cycle parking
What decided it
The proposed development's scale, mass and height would appear unacceptably prominent and dominant in relation to the local context and street hierarchy, and would result in unacceptable loss of office space without required supporting evidence.
