- Procedure

- Inspector
- Cowley R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed change of use is acceptable with particular regard to strategic housing policies and the effect on the supply of residential accommodation
- The effect of the proposal on the transport network and whether it would provide adequate space for cycle parking and waste management
- Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building at 141 Leman Street or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The total loss of existing residential accommodation without compensatory provision and failure to demonstrate this would not harm the borough's ability to meet housing targets, combined with inadequate provision for cycle parking and waste management.
