Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the retention of disputed condition 3 is necessary having regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed change of use of the building would result in development being located in a suitable location having particular regard to local and national policies that deal with sustainability and accessibility
What decided it
The modest scale of the commercial storage use, minimal traffic generation, and the principle of reusing previously developed land and existing buildings outweighed concerns about commercial activity on the site.
The benefits of efficient use of previously developed land and conversion of existing buildings outweighed the limited concerns about commercial activity, resulting in the appeal being allowed.
