Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the presence of office units here is in accordance with the Council's strategy for employment uses (the principle of the development)
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether there would be an undue reliance on private motorised transport
- Its effect on highway safety
- Its effect on drainage
What decided it
The benefit of redeveloping the derelict site with a smaller scheme of suitable design in a location offering some transport choice outweighed the conflict with Local Plan Policy EMP4 regarding employment location strategy.
