Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the unauthorised operational development on the character and appearance of the host building, terrace and surrounding area
the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties having particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The unauthorised development causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance and fails to safeguard neighbouring living conditions, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval contrary to the development plan.

Plan policies cited: BD1, BE7, DMP1
