Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the loss of the office floorspace would be acceptable having regard to the development plan
- whether the proposal would make, or needs to make, provision for affordable housing
- whether the proposal would represent an acceptable form of development having regard to any flood risk, the provisions of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- whether the scheme would make sufficient provision for on-site car and cycle parking
- whether the scheme would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants, having regard to external amenity space
- whether the scheme would achieve, or needs to achieve, development plan requirements to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in residential development
What decided it
The unacceptable loss of office floorspace in a Key Office Area combined with inadequate flood risk assessment and multiple other development plan conflicts meant the proposal could not be approved.
