Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of varying or deleting the affected conditions on the promotion of alternative modes of transport, with particular regard to the provision of cycle parking
- the effect of varying or deleting the affected conditions on the character and appearance of the area including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Christchurch Conservation Area
- the effect of varying or deleting the affected conditions on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and activity
What decided it
The Inspector allowed the appeal on a split basis: conditions 3, 4 and 5 were varied with amended wording to reflect that development had commenced and to require one cycle stand, but conditions 1 and 2 were re-imposed as justified, with conditions 6 and 7 re-imposed with amended wording to secure a management statement and noise assessment before the use could lawfully continue.
