Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of nearby residential properties with regard to noise and disturbance
  • highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development does not constitute a material change of use of the land, and the operational development elements do not directly facilitate outdoor seating, therefore planning permission is not required for the use and noise/disturbance matters fall to other regulatory powers.
