Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the level and nature of vehicle movements associated with the proposal on highway safety
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to the countryside and accessibility
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal has an unacceptable impact on highway safety because Jaque's Bank does not provide satisfactory access for the type and nature of vehicle movements involved, and the site is not a suitable location for the use in the countryside given its inability to encourage sustainable transport modes.
