described on the planning application form as: “Proposed change of use from 'work to live' to residential (family home). Only external changes are to fix doors shut on ground floor, front elevation
- Authority
- London Borough of Brent
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Minor Dwellings
- Inspector
- Storey P
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 terms of floor-to-ceiling heights and provision of external amenity space
What decided it
The material consideration that nine neighbouring units had already been granted permission for residential use, leaving the appeal site as the only employment use in an otherwise wholly residential complex, made the employment use unviable and outweighed the conflict with Policy BE3.
Framework references: 128
