Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The appropriateness of the location having regard to the need for business development
- The effect of the scheme on the character of the countryside
- The effect on the significance of the Grade II listed Pelham Farmhouse and Pelham Place
- The effect on protected species and trees
What decided it
The acute and evidenced need for business development in the area, combined with seriously out-of-date development plan policies that fail to provide adequately for that need, outweighed the countryside and heritage considerations which could be adequately mitigated through conditions.
Plan policies cited: GD2, SPO7, EN8, EN27, SPO1, SPO2, SPO13, WCS12
