Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on highway safety, with particular regard to access arrangements and parking provision
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The combination of unacceptable highway safety impacts arising from insufficient parking and intensified peak usage, together with unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers that could not be adequately mitigated through conditioning, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.

Framework references: 116

Plan policies cited: Policy LP13, Policy LP17, Policy LP30
