Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of residents of the Barge Arm, with specific regard to noise and disturbance arising from the use of the proposed outdoor seating area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of nearby dwellings, with specific regard to the noise and emissions arising from the proposed generator
What decided it
The absence of robust technical evidence demonstrating that cumulative noise from the proposed outdoor seating area would not cause adverse effects on the living conditions of nearby residents in a location with comparatively lower baseline background noise.
