Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the storage use on delivery of the comprehensive mixed-use development on the allocated land, having regard to the Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The storage use, being of limited proportions, lacking independent access, and reversible, would not prejudice the comprehensive development of the allocated land and accords with the Development Plan.

The modest economic benefits of the storage use, supported by the Framework's objective to support economic growth and local plan policy, outweighed any concerns about the allocated development, as the use would not prejudice delivery of the comprehensive mixed-use scheme.

Plan policies cited: Policy SA 9 (Land at Warfield), Policy LP 19, Policy LP 4, Policy LP 28
