Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the change of use on the function and operation of the designated Strategic Industrial Location (SIL)
- Whether the change of use to a shisha café/nightclub use contributes to a safe and secure environment
- The effect of the change of use on neighbouring occupiers of the SIL with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The adequacy of parking provision to serve the shisha café/nightclub use, and the effect of any lack of provision on surrounding businesses in the SIL and highway safety
What decided it
The unauthorised shisha café/nightclub use is fundamentally incompatible with the function and operation of the designated Strategic Industrial Location, causing unacceptable harm through loss of industrial capacity, anti-social behaviour, noise and disturbance to neighbouring businesses, and additional parking pressure in an area with poor public transport accessibility.
