Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site would be a suitable location for the proposal with regard to development plan policy
  • The living conditions of neighbouring residents in respect of noise and disturbance, privacy, and light spill
  • The amenity of guests

What decided it

The proposal is located outside the areas specified in Policy R12 for visitor accommodation and would cause significant harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions through noise, privacy intrusion, and light spill, with no material considerations indicating it should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy R12, Policy R1, Policy E10, Policy PLAN1, Policy DH5, Policy T5
