Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site would be an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan and other material considerations
What decided it
The policies with which the development conflicts are out of date and unduly restrictive compared to national policy, and no unacceptable harm would arise, so the scheme's benefits in meeting local business need and delivering economic growth outweigh the policy conflict.
The benefits of sensitively meeting a local business need and delivering economic growth were placed at significantly greater weight than the scheme's conflict with the out-of-date and overly restrictive development plan policies, resulting in permission being granted.
