Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the proposal on employment land provision
  • Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers on Stanger Road and Alfred Road, with particular regard to outlook
  • Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of Duplex 2 with particular regard to outlook, and privacy in the garden
  • Effect of the proposal on parking provision and highway safety
  • Effect of the proposal on fire safety

What decided it

The cumulative harm from loss of employment land provision, adverse living conditions for future occupiers due to overlooking and privacy issues, defective parking controls, and unresolved fire safety concerns outweighed any benefits of the proposal.
