Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate vehicle and cycle parking
- whether the proposed development would result in any contamination risks
What decided it
The combined harm to character and appearance, living conditions and lack of adequate parking provision outweighed the benefits of tourism support when assessed against the development plan policies.
