The proposed change of use would reduce the range and stock of business premises available within the Borough, thus preventing the opportunity to grow and thrive for businesses. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the loss of the office space would not have a detrimental impact on the range of office premises within the Borough or that the unit is unviable and, in the absence of this justification, the proposal is contrary to policy CF5 of the Local Plan 2019.

Refused/No pre-app or discussion
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website. A pre-application advice service is also offered. In this case the proposal does not comply with guidance and policies. No pre-application discussions were entered into, but the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of any new planning application.
