Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would undermine the Council's regeneration objectives for the borough, including the vitality and viability of the designated centres of the retail hierarchy
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of No 7 Ward Street with specific regard to outlook
What decided it
The small scale of the extension to an existing restaurant use, combined with the impracticality of relocation and the absence of material harm to neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the sequential test concern.
