General Policy 2
Requires developments to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, avoid adverse impacts on amenity/landscape/highways/habitats, provide safe access/parking, and more. Officer assessed the proposal complies overall given limited scale/impact relative to existing larger buildings, distance from residences, no highway issues, and improved design; site's established use justified departure from zoning.
Business Policy 5
Restricts retailing on industrial land unless items too large for town centres or produced on-site without severing from business, without harming town centre vitality.
