Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the site is in a suitable location for office accommodation having regard to local and national policies for employment and accessibility to sustainable forms of transport
What decided it
The site's poor accessibility by sustainable modes of transport and lack of convenient access in relation to the A46 demonstrated that it was not in a location where a new business use would be acceptable under the development plan policies.
