Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed loss of employment premises is justified
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers
  • whether the proposal would create acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal and external space, and car and cycle parking provision
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and immediate surroundings

What decided it

The cumulative conflicts with employment land protection policy, neighbour amenity, future occupier living conditions, and character and appearance, with no single scheme presenting an acceptable proposal, led to dismissal.
