Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in relation to noise
  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Westbourne Conservation area

What decided it

The absence of an acoustic assessment and associated mitigation measures meant the development would cause demonstrable harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions, which outweighed the operational benefits to the business.
