Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the location of the development is acceptable, having regard to local and national planning policy
The effect of the development on neighbouring occupiers and uses on the Midas Business Centre estate, and on the living conditions of nearby residents

What decided it

The development's location outside a town centre conflicts with the development plan's strategy for town centre uses, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that suitable town centre locations are unavailable or unsuitable, such that the benefits claimed do not outweigh this conflict.
