Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The suitability of the design and access to the proposed aparthotel units for persons with mobility impairment
- The quality of the visitor experience provided in terms of design and layout of the proposed development
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, including considerations relating to servicing and car parking provision
- The suitability of cycle parking facilities proposed as part of the development
- The impact of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, particularly in relation to safety, security, noise, and disturbance
- The suitability of proposed waste storage facilities on site
What decided it
The proposal failed to comply with multiple development plan policies on accessibility, highway safety, living conditions of neighbours, and waste storage, with no material considerations indicating the appeal should be decided otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
