Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be a suitable form of development having regard to development plan policy in respect of replacement buildings

What decided it

The proposal failed to comply with multiple criteria of Policy SWDPR 23, particularly the failure to demonstrate that accommodation needs could not be met through refurbishment, the excessive floorspace increase, and the unjustified alternative siting.
