Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the retained parking and vehicle manoeuvring areas on site and its capacity for this to provide for the proper functioning and viability of the restaurant
- whether the site is an appropriate location for housing with regard to local and national policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Lion Inn, a building of local interest
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, especially with respect to noise and light pollution
What decided it
The proposal would compromise the operation of the restaurant's car park at busy periods, resulting in substantial overspill parking on local roads that cannot be readily accommodated without detriment to highway safety, conflicting with development plan policies.
