Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO, with particular regard to: flooding risks in relation to the building; impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers; the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms; whether the proposal would accord with the provisions of the NDSS; and whether the proposal would fall within the provisions of permitted development under Class MA
What decided it
The proposal depended on external building operations (ramp and glazing) that are not permitted development under Class MA, and no reasonable condition could overcome this given the uncertain status of a separate pending planning application for those works.
