Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development under the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Paragraph Q1(a)(i) with regard to the building's use at the time
  • If Q1 is satisfied, whether the proposed development would gain prior approval under the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Paragraph Q2(1)(b) and the provisions of paragraph W(10)(b), with respect to matters of noise effects on future occupiers

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate that the proposed dwelling would provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers due to significant adverse noise effects from the adjacent business that cannot be adequately mitigated, contrary to Schedule 2 Part 3 Paragraph Q2(1)(b) and the Agent of Change principle.
