Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the condition would have on the living conditions of occupiers of surrounding properties in relation to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant volume of police callouts to the premises (29 since 2018) demonstrates the existing use is already causing noise and disturbance to the residential area, and increasing occupancy would exacerbate this harm to an unacceptable level.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HS1 of the Sunderland City Council Core Strategy and Development Plan 2015-2033, 2020Policy VC5
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 130
