Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted for the development, with particular regard to the impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the development

What decided it

The updated noise assessment demonstrating that desirable noise levels would be achieved with windows both open and closed, combined with additional internal acoustic measures, satisfied the Inspector that acceptable living conditions could be secured for future occupiers despite proximity to the commercial public house.
