Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, with specific regard to the supply of employment premises within the District
  • the effect of the development on biodiversity

What decided it

The change in policy from SWDP12 to SWDPR15 meant that marketing of the employment building was no longer required for a demolition and replacement scheme, removing the Council's primary reason for refusal and allowing the proposal to proceed subject to appropriate biodiversity mitigation and net gain provisions.
