Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise
  • the effect of the proposal on existing trees
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the spatial strategy
