Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of not keeping the parking spaces, turning area and access available for their intended purposes in terms of highway safety
- The effects of not keeping the parking spaces, turning area and access available for their intended purposes in terms of living conditions
What decided it
The inability of articulated HGVs to turn within the site due to external storage encroachment creates unacceptable highway safety impacts and significant adverse effects on living conditions that cannot be adequately mitigated.
The economic benefit of continuing the builder's merchant use and retaining 10 jobs was outweighed by the significant harm to highway safety and living conditions arising from the inability to maintain the required turning area.
