Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying the disputed condition on highway safety
- The effect of varying the disputed condition on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The modest additional parking demand and trips generated by a restricted delivery service, combined with available parking nearby and off-peak operating hours, would not prejudice highway safety or significantly harm neighbouring living conditions.
The benefits of allowing a delivery service, with appropriate restrictions on hours and conditions to manage impacts, outweighed the concerns about highway safety and residential amenity.
