Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings, with regard to noise and disturbance
- highway safety, with particular reference to car parking
What decided it
The proposal's location in close proximity to dwellings on three sides makes it incompatible with a residential area, as the noise and disturbance from a café and drinking establishment would be detrimental to neighbouring residents' living conditions, and the inadequate parking provision would harm highway safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN8Policy DS5Policy DS4Policy TR2
- 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.
