Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The absence of a noise assessment and trip generation data, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns regarding vehicle manoeuvring and access in an already constrained area, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
