Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development in accordance with Class A, Part 20, Schedule 2, of the GPDO
- whether the Unilateral Undertaking is reasonable and necessary to make the development acceptable in regard to the transport impacts of the proposal
What decided it
The building is located within 3 kilometres of the perimeter of an aerodrome (St George's Hospital helipad), which is a limitation that prevents the development from benefiting from the permitted development right under Class A, Part 20, Schedule 2 of the GPDO.
