Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
- Whether planning permission ought to be granted for the matters stated in the notice, specifically the effect of varying the Car Park Management Plan to allow late-night coach drop-offs on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance (ground a)
What decided it
The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents from noise and disturbance caused by late-night coach drop-offs in a quiet suburban residential area outweighed any practical necessity for the appellant's operations and could not be adequately controlled or mitigated by the proposed Code of Conduct.
The practical necessity and public benefit of the club's youth academy operations were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents from noise and disturbance caused by late-night coach drop-offs.
