Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable site for employment development, having regard to its location in conjunction with the Development Strategy of the area and the travel needs of the proposal
What decided it
The site's location outside the settlement boundary combined with its poor accessibility, lack of sustainable transport options, highway safety constraints, and absence of demonstrable employment need make it unsuitable for employment development and contrary to the development strategy.
