Business Policy 7
Directs office floor space towards town centres other than Corporate Headquarters which do not involve day-to-day callers on Business Parks. The officer assessed the proposal as a corporate HQ but noted elements involving public visitors, treating it as a departure yet acceptable due to special circumstances.
Community Policy 2
Directs community facilities to sites accessible to non-car users. The business park location raises access concerns for non-car users, but outweighed by applicant's unique needs and lack of alternatives.

Requires development to minimise journeys by private car and use public transport. Location may increase car journeys, but justified by operational requirements needing vehicular access and parking.
