Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the operating conditions of surrounding employment uses
- whether the proposed loss of employment land is justified
- whether the proposal would comply with development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework on flood risk
- whether the proposal would provide sufficient on-site amenity open space
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds—impact on neighbouring employment uses, unjustified loss of employment land, and inadequate flood risk assessment—and no other considerations outweigh this finding.
