Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character of the site and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers by reason of noise and disturbance
  • Whether or not the development is in an acceptable location with regard to access to more sustainable modes of transport
  • Whether or not the development results in inconveniences for road users and is prejudicial to highway safety as a result of the parking provision on site

What decided it

The development's unacceptable effects on character, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety through inadequate parking provision outweighed the benefits of providing swimming lessons.
