Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to noise and vibration
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on living conditions from noise and vibration from the adjoining public house, which cannot be adequately mitigated and would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing benefits.
The modest benefits of housing supply and short-term employment during conversion are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to living conditions from noise and vibration, such that the conflict with the development plan is not outweighed by other considerations including the Framework despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
