Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is in a suitable location, having regard to its effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular reference to noise and disturbance, as well as its impact on the local highway network
What decided it
The current use generates significantly fewer vehicular movements (10-15 daily) than the former animal welfare use (31-68 daily), and there is no evidence of noise complaints or unacceptable impact on neighbouring residential properties or the highway network.
