Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character of the area and its effect on the living conditions of local residents, having particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would cumulatively with other drinking establishments have a significantly harmful effect on the character of the area and the living conditions of local residents through noise and disturbance, conflicting with the development plan when considered as a whole, and no material considerations outweigh this finding.

Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy HC6, London Plan Policy HC7, City Plan Policy 7, City Plan Policy 16, City Plan Policy 33, City Plan Policy 38
