Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would result in the unacceptable loss of an employment site

What decided it

The appeal site had not functioned as an employment site for over a decade, was vacant and unallocated for employment use, and no substantive evidence demonstrated any realistic prospect of employment use returning, so the loss was not unacceptable.
