Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the site for the proposal, with reference to its accessibility, having regard to local policy for the supply of employment land
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's remote location with poor accessibility by public transport, cycling and walking makes it unsuitable for the proposed scale of employment development under Policy EC3, and the proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Denbury Down Landscape Character Area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EC3Policy S22Policy S9Policy EN2A
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 85
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
