Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, the amount and adequacy of on-street parking and the perception of the proposed use

What decided it

The modest scale of the use, the comparable occupation level to a family household, availability of suitable on-street parking, and the operation of separate regulatory controls for safeguarding meant the proposal would not give rise to significant adverse impacts on living conditions of nearby residents.
