Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, noise and general disturbances
What decided it
The intensified and prolonged use of the property as holiday accommodation across weekdays and weekends, combined with the close proximity of neighbouring dwellings and limited noise attenuation from boundary treatments, would create unacceptable levels of noise and disturbance that management measures could not adequately mitigate.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
