Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the supply of office floorspace in the borough
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle storage
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for waste management
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to servicing
What decided it
The proposal would result in an unacceptable net loss of viable office floorspace in a designated employment location because the premises had not been marketed at a reasonable rent that reflected the shared access constraints.
