Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the sui generis use would be appropriate in respect of its location

What decided it

The sui generis animal boarding use is compatible with the Employment Growth Area's operating conditions when subject to conditions controlling dog numbers, opening hours, and customer access arrangements.

The employment and educational benefits of the use outweighed concerns about noise and parking, provided adequate mitigation conditions were imposed.
