Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and odour
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly the flat above the appeal site, through noise and odour impacts that could not be adequately mitigated, conflicting with the development plan.
