Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the Coventry City Local Plan (2017)
  • the effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety
  • whether the proposed development would be harmful to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise, disturbance and odour

What decided it

The proposal fails on all three main issues: it is in an unsuitable location contrary to Policy R6, it would cause severe harm to highway and pedestrian safety, and it would harm neighbouring living conditions through noise, disturbance and odour.

No material considerations indicated the application should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan; the harms identified were not outweighed by any benefits.
