Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the safety and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site with particular regard to provision for parking

What decided it

The modest increase in occupancy and activity levels, combined with the absence of firm evidence of parking stress or unsafe parking outcomes, meant the development would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions or highway safety.
