Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether a suitable location for the proposed use
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to trees
  • whether the appeal site would be at an unacceptable risk from contamination

What decided it

The appeal site's location within an established industrial estate allocated for general employment uses, combined with the proposal's compatibility with the character and appearance of the locality and the absence of significant contamination risks, justified allowing the appeal.
