Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed vehicle repair and maintenance business on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance as well as odour and fumes, and whether the host dwelling maintains sufficient private residential garden space
- The effect of the use of the proposed access on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers using Mildmay Road, the effect on the highway network and whether there is sufficient parking provision on site
What decided it
The proposal would be detrimental to both residential amenity through noise, odour and fumes, and to highway safety through inadequate visibility splays and insufficient parking provision, conflicting with the development plan.
