Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the proposal would be likely to generate an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would attract greater customer use of the forecourt in inclement weather, resulting in increased noise and disturbance that would unacceptably affect the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
The benefits of providing better shelter for customers were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through increased noise and disturbance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 119 of the Bromley Local Plan
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
