Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location outside of a town or neighbourhood centre is acceptable, with particular regard to the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance and external space
- the effect on highway safety, with particular regard to vehicle and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposed location outside a town centre was acceptable because the commercial floorspace was below the threshold requiring impact assessment, the site was accessible to Brentford town centre, and similar construction uses already operated in the vicinity.
