Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupants of the development, with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The incompatibility of the residential use with the lawful workshop use in the adjacent part of the same building, and the absence of any noise mitigation, creates significant harm to the living conditions of the development's occupants that outweighs the housing supply benefits.
The significant harm to the living conditions of the occupants of the development if the lawful workshop use were to be resumed demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits, despite the Council's shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
