Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions for nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposal is in a suitable location having regard to local development plan policies
- whether the proposal would provide an acceptable standard of holiday accommodation for future occupants, with particular regard to private outdoor amenity space
- whether the proposal accords with local policies in relation to the provision of affordable housing, public open space, green infrastructure and biodiversity, with particular regard to whether a planning obligation is necessary in respect of these matters
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers through noise and disturbance from self-contained holiday accommodation use, particularly from the rear yard area, significantly outweighed the economic benefits of the proposal.
