Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the site is a suitable location for the development
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular reference to parking stress and cycle storage
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate fire safety precautions for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to highway safety due to lack of off-street parking in an area of high parking stress and inadequate cycle parking provision, combined with unsuitability of the location for a non-retail sui generis use within a designated Shopping Parade.
