Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the dog therapy use on highway and pedestrian safety
- The effect upon the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings

What decided it
The dog therapy use would not result in materially worse impacts on highway safety, parking, residential amenity or sustainable travel compared to the permitted Class E(g) and B8 uses, and therefore complies with local plan policies.
