Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issues are therefore the effect of the mixed use on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties by way of noise and disturbance and the effect upon highway safety.

What decided it

The unacceptable and unmitigated harm to neighbours' living conditions from noise/disturbance and to highway safety from event-related traffic and parking, which could not be resolved by conditions.

the harm to living conditions and highway safety from the events use was not outweighed by the fallback position, the best interests of the children, or the benefits of the school, so the balance tipped against granting permission for the mixed use
