Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would lead to an unacceptable loss of commercial floorspace
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers
- whether the proposed development would safeguard the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
- whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The cumulative deficiencies across all four main issues—unacceptable loss of commercial floorspace, substandard living conditions for future occupiers, harm to neighbouring living conditions, and harm to character and appearance—each independently conflicting with the development plan, with the modest housing benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
The modest benefits of delivering 3 additional dwellings in a sustainable location and making efficient use of land were outweighed by the harm to commercial viability, substandard residential amenity for future occupiers, harm to neighbouring living conditions, and harm to character and appearance.
