Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate parking provision

What decided it

The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions from noise and disturbance, combined with inadequate parking provision that would harm highway safety, outweighed the modest economic and social benefits of the proposal.
