Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with the strategic land use policies of the Development Plan
- The effect of the proposed development on off-site flooding, with particular regard to sustainable drainage
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan's strategic land use policies protecting the Strategic Industrial Location and Preferred Industrial Location, and there were no material considerations indicating the decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan.
The benefits of new employment opportunities, service provision to local employees, and efficient use of under-utilised land did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
