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.

Plan policies cited: UDP Policy H10, UDP Policy H14, Policy CS74

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
