Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of industrial floorspace
- whether the proposed alterations to the external site layout are acceptable with regard to car parking and the removal of the servicing bay
What decided it
The substantial reduction in protected B2 industrial floorspace through the provision of extensive kitchen and toilet facilities, combined with the removal of the servicing bay and inadequate parking arrangements, conflicts with the development plan's objectives to protect and intensify industrial uses within the Strategic Industrial Location.
