Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the impact of noise from nearby commercial entertainment premises on the living conditions of future occupiers and the night-time economy

What decided it

The noise from nearby commercial entertainment premises would result in an oppressive and unsatisfactory environment causing significant harm to future occupiers' living conditions and prejudicing the operation of nearby commercial premises.

The limited weight attributed to the contribution of 15 dwellings to housing supply did not outweigh the significant harm to living conditions of future occupiers and the prejudice to the night-time economy.
