Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for the proposed use, having regard to its location
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the local highway network
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—lack of sequential justification for the location, unmitigated noise and disturbance impacts on neighbours, and harmful effects on the local highway network—with no material considerations to outweigh these harms.
