Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would lead to a harmful loss of employment land within a central position within the Broadheath Main Industrial Area. The proposals fail to meet the requirements of Trafford Core Strategy Policy W1 with regard to demonstrating that there is no need for the site to be retained for employment purposes, and that it is therefore redundant and that there is a clear need for the proposed land use in this locality. This would be to the detriment of the primary function of this APPLICATION NUMBER – 119201/FUL/26 ARFULZ employment area and the Council's requirement to provide a diverse range of land for employment uses and to provide accessible employment opportunities, contrary to Policy W1 of the Trafford Core Strategy, Policies JP-J1 and JP-J2 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
