Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site location is suitable for the proposed development having regard to the development plan policies governing such proposals
  • The effect of the proposed development on future occupiers and adjoining occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The site's poor public transport accessibility (PTAL 2) combined with the unacceptable noise and disturbance impacts of intensifying the use to 11 residents in a residential area made the development contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh the harm.
