Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Wilbraham Road/Edge Lane (Extension) Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise, privacy, and whether or not it would result in an overbearing effect
What decided it
The moderate but less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with the unacceptable increase in noise and disturbance to neighbouring residential properties, could not be justified by the public benefits of sustaining the restaurant business.
