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.
