Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the lack of level access to the first floor would be acceptable in terms of accessibility
What decided it
The inadequate noise assessment and failure to demonstrate that the proposal would not cause harm to neighbouring residential occupiers' living conditions, combined with poor accessibility provisions, outweighed the social and economic benefits.
The social and economic benefits of the multi functional room as a community meeting place were outweighed by the adverse impacts on neighbouring residential living conditions through noise and disturbance and the poor accessibility of the first floor location.
Plan policies cited: Policy P10 of the Core Strategy – Selective Review (2019), Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006)
