Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the provision of scattered employment sites in the Borough
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers of 43 Cross Road with particular regard to light, outlook, privacy and outside amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—loss of employment land viability, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, and failure to secure car-free status with proper cycle parking—and material considerations do not outweigh these harms.
