Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed use would be acceptable within the New Herrington Key Employment Area
  • Whether the discharge to the public sewer associated with the use would be acceptable

What decided it

The use would remain commensurate with the purpose of the industrial estate and would not significantly undermine available floorspace provision for policy-compliant uses, such that the conflict with Policy EG2 was outweighed.

The conflict with Policy EG2 was outweighed by the commensurate nature of the use with the industrial estate's purpose and the limited impact on policy-compliant floorspace provision.
