- Inspector
- Housden C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living/working conditions for future occupiers and users of the development, with particular regard to the layout of the development and its adaptability
- the effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety, with particular regard to the provision of parking
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area and on the living conditions of nearby neighbours with specific reference to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—inadequate living and working conditions due to cramped layout, insufficient parking provision creating highway safety concerns, and harmful noise and disturbance to neighbours through intensification of use—with no material considerations indicating the appeal should be decided otherwise.
