Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, having regard to noise, air pollution and light pollution impacts
What decided it
The long-established and lawful nature of the existing use, combined with the replacement nature of the proposal (same footprint and height) and the ability to impose conditions to mitigate noise, air pollution and light pollution impacts, meant the proposal would not materially harm neighbouring living conditions.
The benefits of rebuilding a lawful long-established business use with improved acoustic and environmental controls outweighed the concerns about potential impacts on neighbouring living conditions from noise, air pollution and light pollution.
