Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental effect on living conditions of future occupiers as a result of inadequate private amenity space, arrangements for parking, cycle parking and refuse storage and potential noise pollution and disturbance from the existing commercial operation
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental effect on highway safety as a result of visibility at the junction to the site
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposed residential development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to sub-optimal layout and inadequate private amenity space, combined with the absence of a noise assessment to demonstrate that the adjacent commercial use would not cause unacceptable disturbance.
