Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The location of the retail unit within a designated local shopping centre surrounded by housing, combined with observed high pedestrian activity and the modest scale of the extension relative to existing retail space, meant the development would not materially increase parking demand or harm highway safety.
