Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the development, having particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, and its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to car and cycle parking, deliveries and refuse storage/collection arrangements
What decided it
The absence of sufficient information to demonstrate that the development would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, neighbouring amenity through noise and disturbance, and highway safety, combined with the visual incongruity of the container unit in its specific site context.
the modest economic and social benefits of the development were given moderate weight but were insufficient to outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety
