Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed use with particular regard to the policies of the local plan
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for off-street parking with particular regard to the safety and convenience of users of the highway
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan strategy of focusing retail development on existing centres and would cause unmitigated harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and odours.
Plan policies cited: Policy CEN1, Policy CEN5, Policy CEN6
