Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effects of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking and manoeuvring
  • effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance to the properties along London Road

What decided it

The lack of adequate manoeuvring space on site combined with limited on-street parking availability in the area would result in adverse highway safety conditions that are contrary to the development plan and cannot be mitigated by conditions.
