Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the surrounding area, including the vitality and viability of the district centre
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 5 and 7 Bradbury Street, having regard to noise and odour
- Public safety
What decided it
The significant harm to the character of the residential street and the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and odour, which conflict with the development plan and are not outweighed by other considerations.
The harms to character and neighbouring living conditions were weighed against the lack of harm to district centre vitality and public safety, with the former outweighing the latter, resulting in dismissal.
