Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of Derby city centre, with particular reference to its character

What decided it

The fallback position that the vacant Class E unit could be converted to other Class E uses without planning permission, combined with the proposal's contribution to city centre vitality through reuse of a vacant unit and generation of footfall, outweighed concerns about the limited visual permeability and age-restricted nature of the use.
