Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development contributes to the vitality, viability, character or function of the area
- The effect of the development on the provision of parking at 67 Butts Green Road, and the result of any such effect upon highway safety and upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers as regards noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of on-site parking provision for Wykeham House combined with poor public transport access and existing on-street parking restrictions created unacceptable highway safety impacts, and the noise and disturbance from vehicle valeting and cleaning activities caused significant adverse effects on neighbouring residents' living conditions.
