Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of the building, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, ventilation, outlook and privacy and noise disturbance
- the viability of nearby businesses or employment uses
What decided it
The provision of natural light and ventilation to occupiers of the flats as a result of the six skylights, which would otherwise be unacceptably dark and claustrophobic, outweighs the conflict with the development plan regarding noise exposure and employment use viability.
