Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the change of use is acceptable having regard to policies related to promotion of healthy lifestyles
  • The effect on the vitality, viability and function of the Local Centre
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents
  • Whether the development is acceptable in the absence of a planning obligation precluding business parking permits

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—healthy lifestyles policy, local centre vitality, living conditions, and sustainable transport—and these harms are not outweighed by economic benefits.

Framework references: 97, 85

Plan policies cited: Policy ED8, Policy ED11, Policy Q2, Policy T6
