Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposal would lead to significantly more non-domestic activity and material increases in noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies on residential amenity, and no material considerations justified overriding this conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
