Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the first-floor occupiers with regard to noise and smoke

What decided it

The design quality of the scheme, with its open front and sides and largely transparent glazed roof maintaining views of the shopfront façade, combined with the physical demarcation preventing congregation near the residential entrance, meant the proposal would not have unacceptable adverse impacts on character, appearance or living conditions.
