Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
  • highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of on-site parking

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area through a prominent parking area at odds with the surrounding street scene, and would result in insufficient on-site parking leading to highway safety concerns near the junction.
