Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to any increase in activity at the site
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The very limited scale of the proposed use, restricted to one customer at a time on two days per week for limited hours, meant that the increase in activity and any associated impacts on neighbouring amenity and the character of the area would be minimal and acceptable.
