Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the unauthorised development upon the appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- The effects of the unauthorised material change of use upon the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and air pollution
- The effects of the unauthorised material change of use upon highway safety
What decided it
The proximity of the appeal property to residential properties above and to the rear, combined with the noise, disturbance, smoke and odour from the mixed use, would materially harm the living conditions of nearby residents, and the extension's poor design quality would fail to respect the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
