Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with particular reference to noise and disturbance

What decided it
The substantial number of vehicle movements and visitors concentrated within short time periods in the late afternoon/early evening, combined with the inability to demonstrate safe parking arrangements on the surrounding highway network, would cause unacceptable harm to living conditions and highway safety that could not be adequately mitigated by conditions.

- Policy SP11Policy SP52
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 111
