298 - 300 , Brixton Hill, London, SW2 1HT

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Whether the loss of office floorspace is justified
• Whether the development would achieve the highest standards of fire safety
• The effect on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular regard to internal and external space standards
• The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and air quality
• The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the existing occupiers of No 296 Brixton Hill and the future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular regard to levels of daylight and sunlight
• Whether there is appropriate provision for bicycle parking
• Whether the proposal would comprise car-free development to support the safe and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site with particular regard to provision for parking
• Whether the proposal would prejudice the future development of the adjacent site Nos 300A to 304 Brixton Hill, having particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple material grounds including loss of employment land without justification, failure to meet space standards, inadequate fire safety consideration, unacceptable impacts on neighbouring amenity, and insufficient provision for sustainable transport, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.
