Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- on-street parking provision
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly as regards noise and disturbance
What decided it
The appellant's management plan with its compulsory appointment system and restricted operating hours, combined with acoustic survey evidence demonstrating noise levels within relevant standards and modest customer trip generation data, demonstrated that the development would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions or character and appearance.
