Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to the adequacy of HGV parking, manoeuvring and loading and unloading, having regard to the reduction in the size of the service yard
  • Adequacy of surface-water drainage
  • Compliance with local energy efficient and carbon-reduction policies
  • planning obligations or financial contributions for public art and carbon offsetting

What decided it

The absence of sufficient evidence demonstrating that adequate HGV parking, manoeuvring and operational arrangements can be maintained within the site following the reduction in service yard space, which would compromise highway safety and operational efficiency in conflict with development plan policies.
