Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including with regard to trees
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions for nearby occupiers including with regard to refuse storage and collection
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by eroding the open green space and visual separation between commercial and residential uses, and would harm living conditions through frequent commercial vehicle movements and refuse collection disturbance in residential streets.
