Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient evidence has been provided to justify the permanent loss of employment premises
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupants of the proposed development with particular reference to air quality
- Whether the proposal would promote sustainable means of transport and the effect of the proposal on the availability of on-street parking
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, known as Numbers 30-34 and attached railings, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would harm the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building through alterations to the ground floor layout that would sever the original spatial premise, and the public benefits did not outweigh this harm.
