Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly in relation to noise, disturbance, and waste management
- The effect of the development on highway safety, particularly in relation to parking arrangements
What decided it
The cumulative harm arising from the proposal's incompatibility with the area's character, the failure to provide technical evidence to mitigate significant impacts on neighbouring living conditions (particularly noise and disturbance), and the inadequate parking and highway safety arrangements outweighed the modest employment and service benefits.
