Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed intensification of use on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, waste generation and parking
- the effect of the proposal on the mix and balance of housing in the area, with particular regard to the supply of family housing
What decided it
The proposed intensification of use would cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly vulnerable elderly residents, through increased noise and disturbance and parking pressure, and the development would not represent high quality housing as required by policy.
