Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be an appropriate location for the development proposed having regard to access to public transport, maintaining the vitality of town centres and providing employment generating uses in areas identified
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed office use is located outside the identified town centres and district centres where employment-generating uses should be concentrated, and would harm both the residential character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance.
