Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue is the effect of the development upon the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties with particular regard to noise.

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that the 2001 permission (02/01/00569) gave unrestricted use of the yard and remained the operative permission, combined with the conclusion that the canopy and raised walls caused no harmful effect on neighbours' living conditions.

the noise attenuation and amenity benefits of the canopy and wall for neighbours, together with the realistic fallback of umbrellas achieving similar increased use without the canopy, outweighed concerns about increased noise from greater use of the beer garden

Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy CDMP1, Policy CDMP3, Policy EP4, Policy EP5

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
