Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbours, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- whether or not the change of use is consistent with local policies relating to housing supply
What decided it
The unacceptable risk to highway safety from insufficient parking capacity and the harm to neighbouring living conditions from noise and disturbance, which together outweighed the limited weight given to the community benefits of the facility.
The limited weight attributed to the benefits of the community facility did not outweigh the harm to living conditions of neighbours through increased noise and disturbance and the unacceptable risk to highway safety, which was a matter of considerable weight.
