Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents with regard to noise and disturbance and odour
What decided it
The character of the surrounding land use with an established evening economy and existing similar uses means the additional evening noise and disturbance from the proposal would not cause significantly greater harm than present levels, and the specified odour control system would be effective in managing cooking odours.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP22Policy SP52
- 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.
