Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the transportation and highway impacts of the development
  • whether prior approval should be granted having regard to noise impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposal requires operational development (passing places, parking areas, and acoustic mitigation) to be acceptable, but Class R only permits the change of use itself, not associated operational development, which would require separate planning permission.
