Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to noise and disturbance
- The highway impacts of the proposed development in consideration of the proposed on-site parking provision and the availability of on-street parking
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate that it would not cause harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, and highway safety through unmanaged parking demand, and these conflicts with the development plan are not outweighed by the limited benefits of providing a community facility.
