Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the development proposed, having regard to: (i) whether all reasonable efforts have been made to secure an employment or community use; and (ii) whether the building is of sound and permanent construction
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that all reasonable efforts have been made to secure an employment or community use for the building, as required by Policy C14 of the Local Plan and Policy CP6 of the Joint Core Strategy.
The benefits of positive visual impact, economic benefits and contribution to housing supply were outweighed by the policy conflict arising from insufficient marketing efforts to secure alternative employment or community uses.
Framework references: 80
Plan policies cited: Policy CP19, Policy C14, Policy CP6
