Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of the loss of the existing office development would result in the loss of employment generating floor spaces within the designated Strategic Employment Area and within the Basing View dedicated area for regeneration. The proposal would therefore cause harm to the commercial future of the town and borough. This is contrary to Policies SS8 and EP2 of the Local Plan 2011- 2029.
  2. The application site is located within a highly sustainable location with exceptionally good access to a range of both public and active modes of transport. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary the proposal would result in increased vehicle movements and reliance of private vehicles undermines policies regarding sustainable modes of transport. The proposal would therefore by contrary to Policy CN9 and SS8 f) of the Local Plan 2011-2029 and Paragraphs 109, 111 and 117 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.
  3. In the absence of sufficient information, a 486 bay multi storey car park has the ability to result in a significant increase in the generation of traffic at peaks times which could have a severe impact on the Local Highway Network. The proposal therefore could cause harm to the Local Highway Network by introducing a high level of vehicular movements without sufficient evidence to demonstrate whether or how this could be accommodated and/or mitigated. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policy CN9 of the Local Plan 2011-2029 and Paragraph 109, 116 and 117 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
