Why it was refused

  1. The application would result in the loss of an employment use located within a strategic employment site. No evidence has been submitted in support of the application to confirm that the existing use of the building is no longer required to meet the economic development needs of the area, or a significant detrimental impact upon the continued primary use of the site for employment. No assessment of the potential impact upon the town centre of Andover has been carried out in support of the application, and it is not known whether the development would result in harm to the vitality and viability of the Andover town centre, contrary to the provisions of policies LE10 and LE11 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

From the council's decision notice.
