Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be suitable for the proposal, having regard to the development plan's approach to the delivery of employment provision
- the effect of the proposal upon the integrity of the European Sites
What decided it
The demonstration of adequate marketing and a surplus of employment land supply in Exmouth, combined with satisfactory mitigation for the European Sites secured via the UU and SUU, meant the proposal did not conflict with the development plan and would not harm the integrity of the European Sites.
the loss of the Site 040A employment allocation was found, on the evidence of marketing and surplus supply, not to cause harm to business and employment opportunities, and with secured mitigation there would be no adverse effect on the European Sites, so the appeal was allowed
