Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for occupiers of the adjacent ground floor flat at No 1023 London Road, with particular regard to noise disturbance and loss of privacy
- Whether the proposed development makes provision to ensure adequate fire safety
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking, and access to and egress from the site
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of the adjacent ground floor flat occupiers through noise disturbance and loss of privacy, combined with unresolved fire safety and highway safety concerns, could not be justified by the moderate benefits of business expansion.
