Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the employment floorspace of the appeal site as part of the Quadrum Park Industrial Strategic Employment Site
  • the effect on the liveliness and economic resilience of Guildford Town Centre

What decided it

The net loss of employment floorspace would be offset by retention of office space larger than originally permitted, and the retail use would not become predominant, thereby protecting the employment function of the Strategic Employment Site in accordance with Policy E3.
