Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to local and national planning policy for the location of new offices
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate through a sequential test that the site is a suitable location for office development in a residential area outside any designated centre, combined with the unacceptable harm to residential character from the intensity of the proposed office use.
