Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on local highways, including whether the residual cumulative impacts on the road network would be severe.
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and general disturbance.
- If conflict with the development plan, when taken as a whole is identified, whether such conflict is outweighed by other material considerations.
What decided it
The fallback position of the extant, more harmful employment permission on the site, combined with substantial economic benefits, outweighed the limited policy and character/appearance harm.
The limited-to-modest harm from conflict with the development plan (out-of-date settlement boundary policies) and character/appearance impacts was outweighed by the fallback position, significant economic benefits and modest biodiversity/environmental benefits, so the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under paragraph 11d)ii of the Framework.
