Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would adversely impact upon existing business' ability to operate
- Whether the proposed development would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety due to increased traffic on Station Road (B1322)
What decided it
The material change in circumstances arising from the appellant's acquisition of the neighbouring business and planned cessation of its operations, combined with the withdrawal of the Council's reasons for refusal and the absence of substantive evidence to support them, rendered the appeal acceptable.
