Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for waste facilities and collection
What decided it
The proposal would not make adequate provision for waste facilities and collection because the first-floor location would necessitate transporting waste down stairs for collection, creating a tripping risk and operational inefficiency that conflicts with Policy D.MW3.
The small benefits from additional retail space and improved shopfront appearance did not outweigh the harm from inadequate waste facilities and collection arrangements.
Plan policies cited: Policy D.MW3, Policy D.MW2
