Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of residential properties to the rear of the site with regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether there would be any unacceptable impact on highway safety, and in particular, whether demand for off street parking would result in conflict between pedestrians and other traffic and would impede the free and safe movement of traffic
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of occupiers of residential properties to the rear of the site through noise and disturbance, which outweighed the economic benefits to Horsforth Town Centre.
Plan policies cited: Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), Policy T2 of the Leeds Core Strategy (2019)
