Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying condition 2 would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect that varying condition 2 would have on anti-social behaviour
- The effect that varying condition 2 would have on pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause harmful noise and disturbance to nearby residents during night-time hours when they have a reasonable expectation of quiet, increase the risk of anti-social behaviour, and harm pedestrian safety through uncontrolled delivery vehicle activity, conflicting with development plan policies on amenity, crime reduction and safe access.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS6, Policy CS16, Policy DM9, Policy DM10
