Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal scheme on the supply of employment floorspace
- whether the appeal scheme would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the development with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The failure to provide sufficiently robust marketing evidence to justify the loss of employment floorspace, combined with the inability to ensure acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to proximity to noise-generating uses without adequate mitigation.
the adverse impacts of the appeal scheme significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework and in the development plan when taken as a whole, despite positive weight being attached to the delivery of temporary housing
