Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use of the outbuilding as a commercial sweet shop business on the living conditions of nearby residents
What decided it
The use of the outbuilding as a commercial sweet shop would harm the living conditions of nearby residents through noise and traffic generation in a quiet residential area, contrary to development plan policy.
The limited community benefits claimed by the appellant did not outweigh the harm to residential amenity and breach of development plan policy.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PH12 of the Doncaster Unitary Development PlanPolicy CS1 of the Doncaster Council Core Strategy 2011-2028Doncaster Local Plan 2015-2035
