Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the living conditions of residential occupiers at No 31a Church Lane and 32a, having particular regard to outlook and light
- The effect upon the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, having particular regard to the potential for noise and odours to be generated
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the living conditions of residential occupiers through loss of outlook and undemonstrated risks of noise and odour generation, conflicting with development plan policies and with no material considerations to overcome this conflict.
The limited economic benefits of supporting a single business did not outweigh the identified harms to living conditions and associated policy conflicts.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS13, Policy CS15, Policy DM32
