Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • highway safety and with particular regard to parking

What decided it

The small scale of the use (6.5sqm, one employee, one client per day), its screening within the private space of the host property, and the sustainable location with available on-street parking meant neither noise nor parking concerns would cause unacceptable harm.
