Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal can provide adequate natural light to all habitable rooms for the benefit of the occupiers of the development
  • The impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the proposed development

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide adequate natural light to all habitable rooms and would expose occupiers to unacceptable noise and disturbance from the adjacent industrial commercial premises, resulting in poor living conditions.
