Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the Chapman Road Locally Significant Industrial Site (LSIS)
- whether or not the proposal would deliver an accessible and inclusive environment
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to air quality
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the designated LSIS through loss of employment floorspace without substantive justification, combined with failures to deliver accessible and inclusive design and unassessed air quality impacts on future occupiers, could not be outweighed by the proposal's design quality or housing contribution.
