Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal upon highway safety, with particular regard to parking arrangements, and the safe operation of the highway network
- The effects of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to levels of noise and disturbance
What decided it
The lack of any transport assessment or noise report meant the appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to highway safety and to neighbours' living conditions.
The moderate weight attached to the social and economic benefits of the proposal did not outweigh the substantial weight attached to the proposal's conflicts with highway safety and residential amenity policies.
