Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Transport impacts, with particular regard to parking stress, cycle parking and waste management
- Fire safety
- The living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to light
- Whether the proposals amount to permitted development under Class MA of the Order
What decided it
The development fails to meet the requirements for prior approval under Class MA of the GPDO because it would create adverse transport impacts (parking stress and lack of disabled bay provision), the Fire Statement was not provided to the Council for assessment, and external works would be required which do not qualify as permitted development.
