Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 8 Nab View with specific regard to noise
  • Highway safety with specific regard to parking

What decided it

The modest scale of the garage conversion and its private domestic use, combined with existing ambient noise exposure at the neighbouring property and adequate local parking availability, meant the development would not unacceptably harm living conditions or highway safety.
