Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal, in terms of layout and future use of the Public House, would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed mitigation measures, particularly the 2.4m acoustic fence and enhanced glazing and ventilation systems secured by condition, would ensure future occupiers experience noise levels within recognised acceptable limits and would not be adversely affected by noise and disturbance from the public house.
The benefits of residential development on the site were balanced against the potential for noise and disturbance to future occupiers from the retained public house use; the balance tipped in favour of the development once appropriate mitigation measures were secured by condition.
