Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of nearby occupants, having particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • Highway and pedestrian safety
  • The character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The change of use from restaurant to banqueting hall would cause significant harm to the living conditions of nearby occupants through noise and disturbance, combined with unacceptable impacts on highway safety and parking, and the rear extension would harm the character and appearance of the area.
