Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with respect to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The movements of six unrelated occupiers would not be substantially different to a large family home, and the property's setback from neighbouring properties means noise and disturbance would not materially increase.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM20
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
