Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- its effect on the community value and its contribution to the borough's economy including its night-time economy
- its effect on the daylight and sunlight available to the residents of 107 Roman Way
- the provision of cycle parking
- the standard of fire safety
What decided it
The combination of unresolved concerns regarding the operational viability of the replacement public house (particularly noise and barrel handling restrictions), inadequate daylight and sunlight assessment for neighbouring residents, insufficient cycle parking provision, and absence of a Fire Statement to demonstrate fire safety compliance meant the identified harms and policy conflicts could not be outweighed by the scheme's benefits.
