Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the vitality and viability of commercial centres in the Borough, having regard to development plan policy on the location of employment uses
  • The character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development comprises physical alterations to an existing lawful office use outside a designated centre, which the development plan does not preclude, and the works represent an improvement to the visual quality of the street scene.
