Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the removal of the condition would be acceptable in policy terms

What decided it

The removal of condition 12 provides the potential to maximise employment-generating uses within class E on the site, which is sufficient to conform with local plan policies requiring maximisation of employment uses in Priority Industrial Areas, despite the current lawful use being retail.
