Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
- the transport and highway impacts of the development
What decided it
Although the change of use would be permitted development, the proposal would result in unacceptable highways and transport impacts due to the absence of off-street parking provision and the dangerous location adjacent to a high-speed road.
