Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the removal of the condition would result in an increase in traffic using the access
- If an increase in traffic would occur, the effect of the additional traffic on highway safety
- If an increase in traffic would occur, the effect of the additional traffic on the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The increase in traffic resulting from commercial use would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through noise and disturbance from vehicles passing in close proximity to their windows, which could not be mitigated.
