“Principle of Development: The site is allocated as part of a Business Park in the Local Development Plan and as such Policy CW13 (Use Class Restrictions - Business and Industry only allows for B1 uses and the provision of ancillary facilities or services to the primary employment use. The previous outline planning permission granted for employment uses on the site (ref. 16/0373/OUT) was restricted to B1 uses only in line with this allocation.”

“It is acknowledged that due to the site being divided into a number of smaller units, some flexibility for uses would be desirable. It is also considered that as the site is close to the strategic highway network, this would potentially be attractive to B8 uses. As such, it is considered that a mixed B1/B8 consent would be acceptable in principle.”

“Transport/Highways: A Transport Statement has been submitted with this application. This concludes that the development will not have a significant impact on the transport network. A Travel Plan has also been submitted. It is noted that the Transportation Engineering Manager has not objected and conditions have been recommended to reflect these comments.”
