Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to (i) noise from any commercial premises and (ii) natural light

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to provide adequate living conditions for future residents with respect to noise from commercial premises, as mitigation measures would require windows to remain closed, which is not a reasonable expectation for residential occupiers.
