Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed variations to the opening hours upon the living conditions of the greater locality, with particular attention to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant detriment to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, particularly in the early morning hours in densely packed terraced housing, outweighs the benefits to the local Muslim community and the economic vitality of the centre.

Plan policies cited: PS10, R05, CS11, CS10

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
