Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal accords with the sequential approach for main town centre uses having regard to national and local policy
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate compliance with the sequential approach for main town centre uses, representing a fundamental conflict with Policy CS4 and the development plan.

Framework references: 7

Plan policies cited: Policy CS4, Policy CS7, Policy DM17, Policy DM20, Policy DM36
