Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, with regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect on highway safety and parking
  • whether the appeal site is suitable for the proposal, with regard to development plan policies concerning the location of development

What decided it
