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The policies with which the development conflicts are out of date and unduly restrictive compared to national policy, and no unacceptable harm would arise, so the scheme's benefits in meeting local business need and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need and delivering economic growth were placed at significantly greater weight than the scheme's conflict with the out-of-date and overly restrictive development plan policies, resulting in permission being granted.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Core Policy 1Core Policy 2Core Policy 19Core Policy 34Policy B5
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 88Paragraph 89Paragraph 58

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
