Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to activity, noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the residential area

What decided it

The proposal would introduce a commercial office use generating unacceptable levels of noise and activity from staff and visitors onto a quiet residential cul-de-sac in close proximity to dwellings, which could not be adequately controlled by condition and would harm both neighbouring amenity and residential character.
