Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use of the premises as a takeaway on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to odour, noise and disturbance
- Whether the UPVC windows and flue preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Weston Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable levels of noise, disturbance and odour to neighbouring residents that cannot be adequately mitigated, and the UPVC windows would harm the character and appearance of the Weston Conservation Area without sufficient public benefit to justify this harm.
