Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the availability of family housing
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The site's location within a predominantly commercial environment made residential use incompatible with the character of the immediate locality, and the modest nature of the proposed commercial uses would not materially harm neighbouring living conditions when subject to appropriate conditions.
