Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effects of the development on sustainable transport objectives
  • effects of the development on highway safety
  • effects of the development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
  • effects of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal property, with particular regard to outlook and daylight

What decided it

The longstanding parking use of the forecourt and absence of evidence that the proposal would materially increase parking demand or vehicle movements meant the conflict with sustainable transport objectives attracted only limited weight, which was outweighed by environmental and visual improvements.

the identified benefits of enhanced landscaping, permeable surfacing and biodiversity outweighed the limited conflict with sustainable transport objectives of the development plan
