Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

firstly whether the residential and employment uses on the site are policy compliant
and secondly, whether the development adversely affects the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The adoption of new development plan policies (CEDPD and MNDP) since the enforcement notice was issued broadened policy support for live-work development, tipping the balance in favour of the appeal.

considerable weight was given to the recently adopted CEDPD and MNDP policies which now supported the type of development undertaken, and this outweighed the development's partial non-compliance with older development plan policy and any residual character concerns

Framework references: 82, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy AL1, Policy 7, Policy 1, Policy 10, Policy 5, Policy 14
