Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the proposed development
  • contamination
  • the effect of the development on highway safety
  • the effect of the development on living conditions of occupiers of the adjacent residential property

What decided it

The proposal could not demonstrate sufficient parking and manoeuvring space for all businesses on site without obstructing access or compromising highway safety, and the intensified use with extended operating hours would unacceptably increase noise and disturbance to the adjacent residential occupier.
