Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would create a severe risk to highway safety due to inadequate parking and turning facilities for vehicles, particularly delivery vehicles, on a narrow lane with constrained access, leading to potential reversing manoeuvres onto a busy main road.
