Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the proposed development on the supply of land for Class B uses within the Kangley Bridge Road Locally Significant Industrial Site
- the living conditions of nearby occupiers in respect of noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed level of on-site car parking would be acceptable and the associated effect of the proposal on highway safety and the free flow of traffic
What decided it
The considerable harm arising from loss of employment land supply, unacceptable noise and disturbance to residential amenity, and unresolved highway safety and parking concerns collectively outweighed the moderate benefits of providing community facilities for a protected group.
