Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard for noise

What decided it

The likely significant increase in vehicular and pedestrian traffic through the small residential cul-de-sac would unacceptably harm the tranquil character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance.

The benefits of providing a facility for church-related activities were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the residential area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
