Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would represent a suitable location for the development, having regard to development plan policy relevant to its location within a designated Locally Significant Industrial Area (LSIA) and other material considerations
What decided it
The viability evidence demonstrating that the residential units were necessary to achieve a viable scheme delivering increased Class E floorspace, combined with the significant weight given to housing supply and sustainable development benefits, outweighed the conflict with Policy LP34.
The conflict with Policy LP34 regarding residential use in the LSIA was outweighed by the material considerations of viability necessity, housing supply contribution, good design quality, economic benefits, and effective use of brownfield land in a sustainable location.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP34Policy DMT1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
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.
