Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether it has been adequately demonstrated that there is no demand for the employment floorspace
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of flat 9 in respect of privacy
- whether the proposal would provide a high standard of sustainable design and construction
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate demand for the employment floorspace through a sufficiently rigorous marketing exercise, combined with unacceptable privacy conditions for future occupiers of the ground floor unit, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and could not be approved.
