Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of residents on Greenside, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether adequate provision exists for car parking for the appeal development
What decided it
The inadequate assessment of noise and disturbance impacts on neighbouring residential properties, particularly from customers using the external smoking area and music breakout during late evening hours, demonstrated that the development would harm living conditions contrary to the development plan.
