Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for development of this type, having regard to the sequential test for retail use
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and on the efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with regard to air quality

What decided it

The Inspector's finding, based on uncontested traffic modelling, that the proposal would not cause a materially harmful increase in traffic, queuing or highway safety risk, which in turn resolved the character, appearance and air quality issues and led to overall compliance with the development plan.
