Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location or siting of the building would make it undesirable for the building to change to a dwellinghouse in terms of whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The material changes to the adjacent stable building (reduced stables, private use restriction, separate access) combined with the dwelling layout positioning habitable rooms away from the stables provided sufficient certainty that noise and disturbance would be minimal and living conditions satisfactory.
