Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is in an appropriate location for the proposed development
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, having particular regard to floor space and external amenity space
- whether or not satisfactory arrangements for the storage of cycles has been demonstrated
- whether or not satisfactory arrangements for the storage and collection of refuse has been demonstrated
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with development plan policy on multiple grounds—loss of employment use, inadequate living conditions, and lack of cycle and refuse storage—with no material considerations demonstrated to outweigh these conflicts.
