Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, privacy and light pollution
  • the fear of crime

What decided it

The small scale of the proposal accommodating only 1-2 occupants, combined with the absence of any neighbour objections and 18 months of operational evidence showing no harmful impacts, demonstrated that the development would not cause unacceptable adverse effects on neighbouring amenity or give rise to justified fear of crime.
