Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the front and side extensions on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the front and side extensions on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties in respect of noise, disturbance and anti-social behaviour
- Whether adequate off-street car parking is available for the restaurant use and the effect of the development on on-street car parking demand and the free flow of traffic
- The effect of the air conditioning units on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings in respect of noise
What decided it
The development caused significant harm to character and appearance, material harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, and unacceptable on-street parking pressures, which could not be adequately controlled by planning condition and were not outweighed by any material considerations.
