Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for the proposed use, with regard to the local economic strategy and provision of premises within employment areas
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the impact of the proposal on trees

What decided it

The failure to adequately demonstrate the impact on retail strategy and Poole town centre, combined with lack of clarity on employment benefits, meant the site was unsuitable for the proposed use despite the absence of alternative sites outside employment areas.
