Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and noise
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on biodiversity on site

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance from vehicular movements and parking activities outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
