Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance (ground a)

What decided it
The mixed use development, particularly the shisha smoking element which draws customers for extended periods in a communal activity, would cause significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance, conflicting with Policy DMTC 4 of the Local Plan Development Management Policies.
