Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the property is suitable for the development, with particular regard to its location and the effect on the provision of housing
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The loss of residential floorspace in a location where housing is needed, combined with unmitigated harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions through noise and disturbance, outweighed the community and social benefits of the internet cafe use.
