In addition, the proposal accords with the local policy requirements (Policy CS4 and CS5 & DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular, the part demolition of the building, replacement cladding to the side elevation and formalised car parking layout and additional landscaping is designed so that it fits in with the appearance of the existing industrial unit and those within the Whitestone Business Park. The part demolition of the building, replacement cladding to the side elevation and formalised car parking layout and additional landscaping is considered not to result in a detrimental impact on the amenity of the existing users of the nearby hospital buildings or on highway safety. The application is therefore considered to be acceptable, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which indicate that the application should be refused.
