Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed change of use on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed change of use would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance due to the higher turnover of occupants and more frequent movements associated with holiday let use in a quiet residential area, conflicting with the development plan.
