Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an acceptable location, with specific regard to being within a Strategic Industrial Location (SIL)
What decided it
The proposal passed the sequential test demonstrating no suitable alternative sites existed, and this compliance with sequential test requirements, combined with the small scale, job creation, and NPPF support for re-use of under-utilised land, outweighed the conflict with policies protecting Strategic Industrial Locations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS1Policy CS8Policy DM31Policy E4Policy E5Policy E1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 91Paragraph 124
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
