Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the two additional flats would provide reasonable living conditions for the occupiers without being harmed by noise and disturbance
- Alternatively, whether the residential flats as proposed would be likely to give rise to complaints about noise which may affect the operations of the adjacent Broadways Public House
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the occupiers would have reasonable living conditions, particularly regarding their ability to sleep peacefully at night, and the inability to ensure adequate mitigation would be retained in perpetuity.
