Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents in respect of noise and disturbance
  • Car parking

What decided it

The proposal would lead to significant harm to the living conditions of nearby residents through noise and disturbance from workshop operations and vehicle movements, and would create unacceptable parking congestion and highway safety impacts that could not be adequately controlled through conditions.
