Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental effect on living conditions of future occupiers as a result of inadequate private amenity space, arrangements for parking, cycle parking and refuse storage and potential noise pollution and disturbance from the existing commercial operation
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental effect on highway safety as a result of visibility at the junction to the site
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate private amenity space and a well-integrated layout, combined with the absence of a noise assessment to prove the relationship between the proposed residential use and the existing commercial operation directly to the rear would be acceptable.
