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.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
