Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to noise

The noise from the adjacent garage, whilst measurable at +2 to +5dB above background, would not adversely impact future occupants given the mixed-use context of the location and the predicted internal noise levels complying with building standards guidance.
