- Inspector
- Ellis D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The principle of the proposed development, with particular regards to the existing use of the building as a community facility and the effect of the proposed additional hotel accommodation on the vitality and viability of the Stratford Town Centre
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regards to daylight, sunlight, outlook, privacy and noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
What decided it
The proposal's harmful effects on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area, combined with significant adverse impacts on neighbouring residents' living conditions and inadequate cycle storage provision, could not be outweighed by the economic benefits to the Local Centre.
