Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is suitably located
  • The effect of the development on the living condition of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The unsuitable location of a commercial bakery use in a residential area combined with the harmful effects on neighbouring occupiers' living conditions from customer visits, traffic, and disturbance outweighed the benefits of the small business.
