Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is a suitable location for the use proposed
  • Whether there is a need for a sequential test assessment since the site is outside a town or local centre or an edge of centre location

What decided it

The proposed change of use would exacerbate existing parking congestion and increase social stress in a tightly developed residential area, contrary to policies CS9 and A1, and any ameliorating conditions would be difficult to enforce.
