Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed change of use on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring residential occupiers

What decided it

The proposed change of use would not have a harmful effect on highway safety or the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, as the convenience store use is less intensive than the former garage use and appropriate conditions can manage operational impacts.
