Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on parking and highway safety
  • whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the appeal building and occupiers of neighbouring dwellings

What decided it

The appeal scheme fails to demonstrate that suitable off-street vehicular parking space and safe access would serve the proposed use without compromising highway safety, and fails to show that living conditions of occupants of the appeal building and neighbouring dwellings would not be unduly harmed.
