Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance impacts
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it

The modest housing benefits and economic/social benefits of the development, afforded moderate weight, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions, such that the proposal would not be a sustainable form of development and the conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by other considerations including the Framework
Framework references: 11, 8, 60, 130
