- whether or not the site can be appropriately accessed and serviced
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties with specific regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The Inspector could not be satisfied on the basis of the parking data and noise evidence provided that the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to highway safety through increased unauthorised on-street parking and to the living conditions of nearby residents through noise and disturbance.
