Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and privacy.
- The effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision.
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Greenhithe Conservation Area.
What decided it
The unacceptable adverse impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise, disturbance and privacy loss, combined with the harmful effect on highway safety from inadequate parking provision in a constrained location, outweigh the moderate economic benefits of the employment use.
