Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring residents of Falcon Point, with particular regard to noise
- the incidence of anti-social behaviour in the surrounding area
What decided it
The existing busy mixed-use environment and lack of substantive evidence of material harm to neighbouring living conditions from noise or anti-social behaviour, combined with the proposal's benefits to the town centre and economy, outweighed the Council's concerns.
