Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the case to broaden the range of permitted uses has been demonstrated, having regard to the CLEL designation
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Deptford Creekside Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan protection of the Creekside Local Employment Location for creative and industrial uses and would harm the character and significance of the Deptford Creekside Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.
