Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of existing properties, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- greater-needed family housing
What decided it
Conditions restricting opening hours, servicing times, and requiring a site management plan would adequately protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers from noise and disturbance, and the loss of three non-affordable two-bedroom flats was not substantiated as conflicting with housing policy in the absence of demonstrated housing supply shortfalls.
