Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, taking account of access and whether a sufficient number of car parking spaces would be provided
  • whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of the Council's spatial strategy

What decided it

The inadequate width of the single-track access and the resulting potential for significant harm to pedestrians using the public bridleway, exacerbated by increased vehicular traffic from the extended business, conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by material considerations.
