Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the use is the most appropriate when considered in accordance with development plan policy
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the site and surrounding locality in terms of its character and appearance

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate via a sequential approach that the out-of-centre location would not undermine the vitality and viability of Hilton's retail core, contrary to LPP2 Policy RT1, and the poor makeshift design causes adverse detriment to character and appearance contrary to LPP1 Policy BNE1.
