Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of employment floorspace
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers with particular regard to privacy and any overbearing effect on 22 and 23 Gladstone Road
- The quality of accommodation for future occupiers
- Whether the proposed development would mitigate the effects of climate change with particular regard to energy use
What decided it
The multiple substantial harms to employment floorspace supply, neighbouring living conditions, future occupier accommodation quality, and climate change mitigation, taken together, outweighed the modest benefits of brownfield reuse and economic contribution.
