Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the development is appropriate having regard to local planning policy
  • the effects of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The proposal's failure to comply with the sequential test and spatial strategy for retail development in the Development Plan outweighed the absence of adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions.

The absence of adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions did not outweigh the direct conflict with the spatial objectives and strategy set out within the Development Plan.
