Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to odours, noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The lack of noise and odour impact assessments, combined with the different and more intrusive character of noise from vehicle repairs compared to the previously permitted car wash, meant the appellant could not demonstrate acceptable impact on neighbouring residents' living conditions.

- Development plan policies
- UDP Policy H10UDP Policy H14Policy CS74
