Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
  • highway safety

What decided it

The absence of sufficient technical evidence to demonstrate that noise and disturbance impacts could be adequately mitigated, combined with unresolved highway safety and parking deficiencies, meant the development conflicted with local plan policies and could not be approved.
