Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of residents on Brickhill Close having regard to noise

What decided it

The Inspector found no harm to character and appearance or to neighbours' living conditions from noise, and concluded the identified economic, social and environmental benefits outweighed the limited conflict arising from displacement of existing employment uses, so the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.

the moderate social, economic and environmental benefits of the new foodstore (including net job creation, improved public realm and reduced expenditure leakage) outweighed the limited conflict with Policy AS.6 arising from displacement of existing employment uses and businesses
