Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use would be appropriate for its locality having regard to the character of the area and the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The number and scale of vehicles stored on the residential property, combined with the absence of adequate mitigation measures and insufficient information on safe access arrangements, makes the use incompatible with the character of the residential area and the amenities of neighbouring occupiers.
