Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the supply of business premises
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to floor space
  • whether the proposal would adequately promote sustainable modes of transport

What decided it

The proposal fails on three independent grounds: loss of business premises without demonstrated unsuitability, substandard floor space creating unacceptable living conditions, and absence of secured planning obligations for car-free status and cycle parking.
