Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the provision of social infrastructure and community facilities within the surrounding area
What decided it
The appreciable detrimental effect on the range of community facilities available in the local area, particularly given the imminent loss of Lee Green Community Centre and the lack of alternative community space, outweighs the benefit of providing a much-needed nursery.
