Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed 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 customer traffic movements in a quiet residential cul-de-sac outweighed the absence of harm to the vitality and viability of the local centre.
Although no harm was found regarding the site's location and effect on the vitality and viability of Mapplewell Local Centre, this did not outweigh the harm found regarding the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance.
