Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would result in the loss of a site for industrial or office use
- Whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, noise and disturbance, privacy and external space
What decided it
The failure to provide marketing evidence to demonstrate no reasonable prospect of industrial or office use, combined with the poor outlook and undue sense of enclosure that would result in unsatisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and no material considerations justified approval.

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
