Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties at Nos 96 and 102 Bermondsey Street, No 2A Morocco Street, and No 5 Tyers Gate, with particular regard to noise disturbance
What decided it
The configuration of the proposed mezzanine terrace, with a relatively large uncovered area close to adjacent residential properties, would increase the perceived impact of noise on neighbouring residents in an area already experiencing high noise levels, resulting in unacceptable loss of amenity contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.
Framework references: 130, 185
Plan policies cited: Policy P56 of the 2022 Southwark Local Plan, Policy D14 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D13 of the London Plan 2021
