Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbours in terms of noise and light disturbance
- the effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents caused by noise and disturbance from the commercial use of the swimming pool during evenings and weekends outweighed the social and economic benefits of the proposal.
The social benefits of providing a small local pool suited for teaching and use by those with disabilities and the elderly, together with social and economic benefits of employment creation, were insufficient to outweigh the unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity caused by noise and disturbance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- ENV1 (B.4)ENV1 (B.9)EC4 (A)S4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 185Paragraph 111
