Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the site is an appropriate location for the development proposed having regard to the development plan
- highway safety
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with Core Strategy policies 8 and 13 regarding character and appearance, combined with highway safety concerns arising from the site's remote location and lack of pedestrian access, outweighed the support for building reuse in principle.
