Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on employment floorspace in the borough
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to internal space, privacy and outlook
  • the effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 44 Apsley Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposal fails to accord with the development plan on multiple grounds—loss of employment floorspace without demonstrated lack of demand, harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, and minor harm to neighbours' outlook—and no material considerations outweigh these conflicts.
