Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • highway safety with regard to whether adequate parking would be provided

What decided it

The concentrated staff changeover movements and resulting inadequate parking provision would cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbours and create highway safety issues that cannot be adequately controlled by conditions.
