Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, by reason of noise and disturbance

The incompatibility of the commercial storage use with the residential character of the area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, and inadequate parking and loading provision, outweighed the business benefit.
