Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effects of the proposed development upon travel patterns, means of transport in the area and the safety of highway users
- Whether the proposed development would be appropriate having regard to its use of resources and energy
What decided it
The proposal's redevelopment of underutilised brownfield land in an accessible location, combined with acceptable impacts on character, appearance, highway safety and transport, and the availability of an alternative demolition route via prior approval, justified allowing the appeal.
