Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use of part of the ground floor to residential use provides acceptable living conditions for the occupants of that part of the building
- The effect of the air handling unit on the living conditions of neighbouring residents and the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Willesden Green Conservation Area
What decided it
The material change of use fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants and the air handling unit is capable of harming neighbouring residents' living conditions, with no evidence that such harm could be avoided through planning conditions.
