The tier sentence ¶20

“deliver a valuable local service”

Summary

Retrospective change of use of a factory to an MOT and repair garage on a narrow residential-commercial street. Dismissed for "significant harm to highway safety through the parking and manoeuvring of cars on the public highway" (DL ¶21). The only Framework input was the conditions tests, which a vehicle management plan could not meet (DL ¶16). The parties were not consulted on the new Framework as the changes were "not material" (DL ¶5).
