Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the supply of employment premises and the local economy having regard to relevant local and national policies

What decided it

The aged development plan policies, absence of evidence demonstrating harm to employment supply, the building's small size and long vacancy, the creation of 13 jobs, and alignment with national policy on economic flexibility and health provision collectively outweighed the conflict with the development plan.
