An inspector refused the applicant’s appeal after refusal of permission for Travelodge, finding that the proposed development was not an employment use within the structure plan and the local plan, but it did impact on the supply of land for business industry and warehousing, and the need for this type of development did not outweigh other planning considerations. A further appeal was rejected. The inspector had properly concluded that the development would contravene the policies, and explained how such a development would be harmful.
