Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal developments on the living conditions of nearby occupiers
  • The character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to living conditions from noise, odour and loss of privacy, and harm to character and appearance from the outbuilding's size, height and materials, which cannot be adequately mitigated by conditions and outweigh the economic and social benefits of the commercial kitchen use.
