Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the significance of the buildings within the site, which are a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The balanced judgement under Framework paragraph 209 found that the moderate and limited benefits of the proposal, particularly the economic benefits and improved employment floorspace provision, outweighed the moderate weight of harm to a non-designated heritage asset of limited significance.
