Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the local economy in terms of the supply of business premises
  • whether the proposal would encourage sustainable modes of transport with regard to cycle storage provision
  • whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to internal living space

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that the property had been appropriately marketed for business use in accordance with Policy E2 and the lack of suitable cycle storage provision meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan, and the modest benefits did not outweigh this conflict.

Plan policies cited: Policy E1, Policy E2, Policy T1, Policy DM1, Policy H6, Policy T2
