Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether there would be acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the bedsit, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance from surrounding employment uses, contrary to paragraph 187 of the NPPF and Local Plan Policies SC3 and SC11.

The limited benefit from provision of an additional dwelling, outweighed by the unacceptable living conditions arising from noise and disturbance from surrounding employment uses and the conflict with the development plan.
