Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location having particular regard to its accessibility by sustainable modes of transport
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and sustainable transport policies, which the benefits of the vaccination service (given only moderate weight) were insufficient to outweigh.

the moderate weight given to the benefits of the vaccination centre did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan as a whole, including the spatial strategy, accessibility policies and the minor harm to character and appearance
