Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that varying condition 10 would have on the commercial diversity of the area
- highway safety with regard to servicing and cycle parking
What decided it
The proposed variation would fail to maintain the commercial diversity and balanced community mix that the condition was designed to protect, and would create potential highway safety issues through increased servicing demands without adequate provision.
