Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted, having particular regard to the impact of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the proposed development

What decided it

The absence of any information or assessment of noise transmission from the holiday flats within the upper floors of the appeal building, and lack of evidence of noise attenuation measures or management arrangements for these upper floors, meant the proposal could not be shown to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
