Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise disturbance
  • Highway safety, with particular regard to car parking provision

What decided it

The modest scale and backland location of the conversion, generating only limited activity and parking demand, meant it would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity or highway safety.
