Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway safety, with regard to the adequacy of off-street parking
  • the effect on living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The limited scale and capacity of the business, combined with available on-street parking and off-peak operating hours, meant that the development would not create unacceptable pressure on parking or harm highway safety, living conditions, or character and appearance.
