Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the premises contributes to the policy objectives of the Park Royal Neighbourhood Centre
- The effect of the change of use on neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to safety, security, noise and disturbance
- The impact of the use with regard to parking and highway safety
What decided it
The unauthorised use has resulted in significant noise, disturbance, anti-social behaviour and parking problems that harm neighbouring residential amenity and highway safety, and the use does not contribute to the policy objectives of the Park Royal Neighbourhood Centre.
