Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to the levels of activity that the hair salon would be likely to generate
  • the effect of customer parking on highway safety
  • whether the appeal site's location is suitable for the proposed development with particular regard to development plan policy

What decided it

The management plan securing limited client numbers, dispersed arrivals and departures, and restricted operating hours meant the development would not harm living conditions or highway safety and would accord with the development plan.
