Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed variation of conditions upon the living conditions of surrounding residents as a result of noise and disturbance

What decided it

The subjective nature of noise assessment, the narrow layout limiting gatherings, the mixed commercial character of the location, and the material consideration that the use change would no longer require permission post-September 2020 under the amended Use Classes Order, together demonstrating the proposal would not cause significant adverse impacts to living conditions.

The benefits of supporting the local and evening economy and the government's policy approach to food and drink uses on shopping streets outweighed the concerns about noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents, with conditions imposed to mitigate impacts
