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. The proposed development is therefore contrary to the provisions of Policy LE10 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016).

From the council's decision notice.
