Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the health and well-being of the local community

What decided it

The absence of conflict with any identified development plan policy, combined with the location and existing use of the premises as a restaurant/café, led the Inspector to conclude the appeal should be allowed despite conflict with the non-statutory SPD guidance.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 97

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
