Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the development

What decided it

The proximity of the proposed dwelling's windows to the adjacent commercial garage use would result in unacceptable noise impacts on future occupiers that cannot be adequately mitigated by requiring windows to remain closed, as this would be unreasonable and unenforceable in practice.
