Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise from petrol powered scooters
  • the effect of the development on air quality
  • whether the development results in the loss of business floorspace to the detriment of the area's primary economic function
  • whether any adverse impacts could be mitigated by conditions and/or planning obligations

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the noise, air quality and economic harms were low or adequately mitigated, so that the benefits of the development, particularly its economic benefits, outweighed the marginal noise harm to a small group of residents.

the benefits of the development, including significant economic benefits and minor social benefits, outweighed the low-level, marginal harm from scooter noise to a small group of residents, and the development accords with the development plan as a whole
