Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be an acceptable use of resources in the context of relevant Development Plan policies
  • whether the proposed development would be an acceptable re-use of employment land

What decided it

The proposed development would be contrary to the Development Plan when taken as a whole, relying on fossil fuels in conflict with local climate commitments and causing harmful loss of employment land without demonstrated necessity at the site.

The conflict with the Development Plan was not outweighed by other considerations including the Framework.
