Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The notable intensification of use resulting in unreasonable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, combined with harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area, outweighed any other considerations.
The proposal conflicts with the development plan and there are no material considerations that outweigh the identified harm to living conditions and character and appearance.
