Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the vitality and viability of nearby designated centres
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area

What decided it

The proposed expansion of retail use outside a designated centre would have an unacceptable harmful impact on the vitality and viability of nearby designated centres by undermining the town centre hierarchy, which cannot be outweighed by the modest economic benefits to the business.
