Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the operational development accords with national and development plan policies which seek to consolidate commercial uses to within the identified Town and Local Centres
  • The effect of the structure on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The unauthorised development conflicts with the development plan strategy to consolidate commercial uses within identified town and local centres and causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify a decision contrary to the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy SP1, Policy SP3, Policy SP6, Policy SP7, Policy SP8, Policy J1, Policy INF5, London Plan Policy SD6, London Plan Policy E9, London Plan Policy D1, London Plan Policy D4
