Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and parking
What decided it
The lack of certainty that proposed noise mitigation measures would achieve acceptable levels for neighbouring residents, combined with unresolved highway safety and parking concerns, meant the proposal conflicted with development plan policies and could not be justified.
