Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Class MA, with particular regard to whether the proposal would satisfy condition MA.2(2)(d), in regard to the impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the development
What decided it
The proposal cannot satisfy Class MA condition MA.2(2)(d) because future occupants would be highly likely to experience unacceptable living conditions from noise from the adjacent nightclub, particularly when opening windows in warm weather, which would undermine the effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures.
