Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with regard to the adequacy of off-street servicing provision and the potential for displacement of vehicles onto the public highway
- whether the future occupiers of the proposal would have acceptable living conditions
- the effect of the proposal on protected species
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that servicing of the commercial units could be undertaken without displacement onto the public highway, combined with insufficient information on protected species impacts and sub-standard internal living conditions, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
