Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The suitability of the location for the proposed B8 storage use, with particular regard to development plan policies concerning such uses; and the effect on the living conditions of nearby residents related to heavy goods vehicle (HGV) movements to and from the appeal site

What decided it

The limited frequency of HGV movements arising from the proposed B8 storage use (estimated one to three per week) would not result in material harm to the living conditions of nearby residents, supported by the Highway Authority's lack of objection and the site's location in an industrial/commercial area with existing HGV traffic.
