Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The use of the property as a holiday let for a single large group of up to 22 people would significantly increase the risk of frequent noise and disturbance being generated from the appeal site beyond levels acceptable in a residential street, conflicting with Policy COM03.
