Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development having regard to its effect on the vitality and viability of Mapplewell Local Centre
What decided it
The unacceptable increase in noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents from consistent vehicle movements and customer comings and goings in an otherwise quiet residential cul-de-sac outweighed the compliance with sequential test and town centre policy considerations.
The absence of harm to the vitality and viability of Mapplewell Local Centre did not outweigh the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to noise and disturbance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GD1Policy TC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
