Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the mixed use on the designated Strategic Industrial Location
  • the adequacy of parking provision to serve the mixed use and the effect on car parking in the area and the highway network
  • the effect on the living conditions of local residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The mixed use is fundamentally incompatible with the Strategic Industrial Location designation and results in unacceptable loss of industrial floorspace capacity, contrary to the development plan as a whole.
