Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the residential character of the area, having regard to the nature of the use and potential for noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupants

What decided it

The limited scale of the proposed use, the modest nature of the storage area, the low frequency of deliveries by small vans, and the absence of customer visits meant the residential character of the area and living conditions of neighbours would be preserved.
