Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the building on the residential curtilage and the urban character of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the use of the building on neighbouring uses in terms of noise and, in relation to its size, in respect of loss of outlook and amenity

What decided it

The visual impact of the building, though incongruous, could be acceptably controlled through temporary permission and conditions restricting the use to the appellant personally, limiting hours of operation, and requiring removal after three years.
