Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The positioning of the front entrance away from neighbouring properties would limit the effect of noise and disturbance from the increased occupancy, such that the proposal would not harm the living conditions of neighbouring dwellings.
