Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1, 3, 5a and 5b Bourton Road and 20 Bridge Street with particular regard to noise, odour and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance that could not be adequately mitigated by condition, conflicting with the development plan.
The modest benefits of investment in an underutilised property and improved retail choice were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and conflict with the development plan
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE3 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (2021)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
