Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development is acceptable having regard to the protection of employment floorspace
  • whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of outlook, light, floor to ceiling height and provision of external amenity space
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate facilities for the storage of cycles and refuse
  • whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for urban greening

What decided it

The unjustified loss of employment floorspace combined with inadequate living conditions (particularly poor outlook, insufficient floor-to-ceiling heights, and inadequate external amenity space) meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to override this.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE3, Policy DMP1, Policy BH13, Policy D6, Policy BH4, Policy T5, Policy BT2, Policy G5
