Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the area and host building
- the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly as regards odour and noise
What decided it
The extension's substantial mass and height cause significant harm to the open character of the prominent corner location and the host building's appearance, and the shisha lounge use would cause unacceptable odour and noise impacts on neighbouring residential occupiers.
