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.
