Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety with regards to access and parking
- Whether the proposal would affect the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with respect of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable highway safety risks arising from the inadequate access arrangement, combined with the unmitigated harm to neighbouring living conditions from noise and disturbance, outweighed the moderate economic, social and cultural benefits of the proposal.
