Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to on-site parking provision and vehicular access visibility splays
  • Whether the proposed layout of the development would provide suitable functionality for the appeal scheme
  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a pregnancy screening service, having regard to the impact upon the vitality and viability of Shanklin Town Centre and the accessibility of the appeal site

What decided it

The specific operational constraints of the business (limited days and appointment numbers, managed appointment system preventing overlap) combined with the site's edge-of-centre location, accessibility to public transport and car parks, and the financial viability constraints of a town centre location, satisfied all three main issues and justified allowing the appeal.
