Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on parking and highway safety in the area
  • Whether the proposal would make suitable provision for refuse

What decided it

The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to highway and pedestrian safety due to parking pressure and traffic generation at a constrained location, and would fail to provide suitable refuse storage, causing significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and visual amenity.
