Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to noise
- The effect of the proposal on the continued operation of The Four Provinces public house
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that satisfactory external amenity space conditions would be achieved, with residual noise levels remaining substantially above guideline values despite proposed mitigation.
The benefits of bringing a vacant building back into use and providing four additional dwellings (moderate weight) were outweighed by substantial weight attached to the harm from inadequate external amenity space conditions and resulting conflict with the development plan.
