Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the Vanwall Business Park with regard to the loss of employment floorspace
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the proposed flat with regard to light, ventilation and outdoor amenity space
  • whether suitable measures would be included to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change

What decided it

The proposal would result in loss of employment floorspace within a designated business area contrary to Policies ED2 and ED3 of the development plan, and this harm outweighed the modest benefits of delivering a single residential unit.
