Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would represent a sustainable form of development with regard to its location and development plan policy

What decided it

The lack of evidence demonstrating that the proposed office use would support rural economic activity, combined with the unsustainable location requiring private vehicle use and the inability to control the scale of use by condition, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
SP6SP9SP1SP13SP16SP20
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 85
