Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal includes sufficient parking, servicing and access arrangements with particular regard to highway safety
  • Whether or not the location is suitable for the proposed use
  • The effect on the living conditions of nearby residents

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide adequate parking and manoeuvring space and would increase the likelihood of on-street parking and vehicle waiting in a location close to a school and junctions, creating unacceptable highway safety risks.

The benefits of adding a proportionate restaurant use to the locality's commercial offer and the absence of significant harm to residential living conditions were outweighed by the identified deficiencies in parking, servicing and highway safety.
