Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed access and parking arrangements on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring residential unit above the shop/post office, with particular regard to light, odour, vibration, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed access and parking arrangements would result in unacceptable harm to highway safety through insufficient parking provision leading to spillover onto the A143 and unsafe pedestrian crossing conditions, contrary to NPPF paragraphs 115 and 116 and Policy DM46.

Framework references: 115, 116
