Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety in terms of parking
  • the living conditions of occupants of nearby residential properties with specific regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed use would create unacceptable impacts on both highway and pedestrian safety through parking demand and on residential living conditions through noise and disturbance from motorcycle operations, with operational restrictions being unenforceable.

Plan policies cited: Policy T17, Policy SHO9, Policy ENV39, Policy CS15, Policy D13, Policy D14
