Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the protection of existing employment floorspace
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers, with specific reference to outlook and privacy
- Whether the provision for affordable housing would be necessary
- Whether the proposal would provide carbon offsetting and car free developments, having regard to the development plan
What decided it
The failure to provide robust marketing evidence to justify the loss of employment floorspace contrary to Policy LP27, combined with the ineffective unilateral undertaking that would fail to secure necessary carbon offsetting and car-free development measures.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP27, Policy D6, Policy LP17, Policy LP13, Policy LP45, Policy LP55, Policy T6
