Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommends a grant of permission because the proposal is situated within an established serviced industrial estate, is consistent with the 'Existing Built Up Area' zoning, and will not adversely impact the residential amenities of the area or traffic safety subject to compliance with planning conditions.
