Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would result in acceptable living conditions for future occupants having particular regard to noise, odour and internal space
- the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network with regard to parking provision
What decided it
The failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to substandard internal space, noise and odour from the adjacent restaurant, combined with the lack of a mechanism to secure car-free development, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not indicate otherwise.
