Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbours, with particular regard to odour, noise and light

What decided it

The development would cause material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through uncontrollable odour, noise and light impacts from the partially open shisha bar structure in close proximity to residential units, contrary to development plan policy and the Framework.

Plan policies cited: DM Policy 26, London Plan March 2021 Policy D13
