Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing nearby occupiers with regard to overlooking
- Whether the dwelling would offer suitable living conditions to future occupiers with regard to outlook
- Whether sufficient information has been submitted to assess whether there would be any significant adverse impact on the living conditions of future occupiers in terms of noise
- Whether sufficient information has been provided to justify the loss of the existing commercial space and whether such loss would accord with the development strategy for the area
What decided it
The failure to provide sufficient evidence of marketing for employment use and viability assessment, combined with unresolved noise concerns, meant the proposal conflicted with Policy EC1 and could not be justified.
