Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the site is in a suitable location for visitor accommodation and conference/meeting facility, having regard to the spatial strategy for the borough
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbours
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's location outside the spatial strategy for the borough, combined with unmitigated harm to neighbours' living conditions through noise and disturbance, outweighs the modest economic and environmental benefits of the proposal.
