Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the free flow and safety of pedestrians and cyclists
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate refuse storage
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
