Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the extent to which the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Broadway Market Conservation Area
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby residential properties with particular reference to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The Inspector found that the new door had resulted in increased commercial activity generating harmful noise and disturbance to nearby residential occupants, causing conflict with the development plan as a whole, while the appellant also failed to establish immunity or permitted development rights for the other breaches.
the harm to living conditions from noise and disturbance associated with the new door outweighed its neutral effect on the Conservation Area, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole
