Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Southcoates Lane, having regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proximity of the large canopy structure to the common boundary with the residential property, combined with its size, use, lighting and heating, results in noise and disturbance that adversely affects the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, which cannot be adequately mitigated by the suggested condition and is not outweighed by the appellant's business viability arguments.
The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents from noise and disturbance outweighed the appellant's arguments regarding pub viability and the benefits of the structure for social distancing and business continuity during COVID-19.
