Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the employment use of Wycke Hill Business Park
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with particular regard to noise

What decided it

The café's small scale and absence of impact on the operation of the existing motorcycle business means it does not harm the Class B character and function of the employment area, and therefore the limited conflict with Policy E1 is outweighed by the proposal's compliance with Policies S1 and D1.
