Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers with particular reference to noise
  • whether financial contributions are required to make the proposal acceptable in planning terms

What decided it

The incongruous appearance of the domestic-type bin and cycle stores in a prominent town-centre location, which would conflict with the character and appearance of the area and local design policies, outweighed the acceptability of living conditions and financial contributions.
