Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Strategic Industrial Location (SIL)
- Whether there would be a sequentially preferable location for the development
What decided it
The sequential assessment demonstrated that no suitable town centre or edge-of-centre sites were available to accommodate the gym use, satisfying the sequential test requirements and allowing the out-of-centre location to be justified.
