Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the variation of conditions on highway safety
whether the variation of conditions provide adequate car parking provision for the development

What decided it

The lowering of entrance walls and pillars to provide adequate visibility splays, combined with the provision of 16 car parking spaces exceeding the requirement of 10, satisfactorily addresses highway safety and parking concerns.
