Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed increase in the number of children on the living conditions of the neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposal would incorporate appropriate foul drainage provision to meet the needs of the proposed development
- highway safety, having regard to parking provision and access
What decided it
The absence of a noise assessment to demonstrate that the increased capacity would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity, combined with the failure to demonstrate adequate foul drainage provision, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not carry sufficient weight to justify approval.
