Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development upon the living conditions of local residents, with particular regard to the levels of activity, noise and disturbance that it would be likely to generate, and its effects upon crime and anti-social behaviour in the area
What decided it
The specific mitigation measures and site characteristics, particularly the remote customer entrance from residential properties, contained waste management, building sound insulation, and absence of outdoor seating, combined with the appropriateness of licensed premises in the CAZ context, provided sufficient reassurance that noise, disturbance and crime effects would be acceptable.
