Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with respect to the provision of off-street and on-street parking
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would generate significant customer and delivery activity resulting in high parking demand and substantially adverse impact on highway safety, conflicting with policy ST1(b and c) of the development plan.
The merits of providing a retail and food production service supporting healthy eating and community support did not outweigh the conflict with policy on highway safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ST1(b)Policy ST1(c)Policy ST1(a)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
