- Procedure

- leisure-sport · Change of use
- Inspector
- Blair C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed use would be acceptable with regard to the effect on the supply of family housing and whether it would meet a need
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties with regard to noise nuisance and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed change of use conflicts with the development plan's requirement to prioritise self-contained family housing and to locate serviced accommodation in town centres or Opportunity Areas in accordance with the sequential test, and no evidence was provided to justify the chosen location.
