Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of surrounding residential occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
- highway safety
What decided it
The mixed character of the area, proximity to commercial uses including a petrol filling station, modest scale of the proposal, and ability to control impacts through conditions on hours of operation and a management plan meant the development would not cause unacceptable harm to character, living conditions or highway safety.
