Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on highway safety

What decided it

The limited scale of the dog grooming activity (three customers per day) would not result in vehicle movements significantly greater than normal residential use, and there is no evidence that the necessary parking manoeuvres would create highway safety problems on this wide, speed-restricted access road.
