Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the landscape character and appearance of the area
- Whether any harm would be outweighed by other considerations, in particular the need for industrial and logistics employment land
What decided it
The substantial and immediate need for industrial and logistics employment land in a prime, sustainable location, with no deliverable alternative in the short to medium term, outweighed the significant landscape and visual harm.
The very substantial weight attached to meeting an immediate and substantial need for I&L employment land, together with substantial economic and job creation benefits and other lesser benefits, outweighed the substantial weight given to landscape and visual harm and the limited weight given to less-than-substantial heritage harm, resulting in overall compliance with the development plan.
