Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 36 Sun Lane, having particular regard to outlook from the garden
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring residential properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the development on highway safety, having regard to parking provision
What decided it
The Noise Impact Assessment and accessibility evidence, combined with the absence of Highway Authority objection and the visual screening of the outbuilding, demonstrated that the intensification of the nursery use would not materially harm neighbouring amenity or highway safety.
