Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would result in the unjustified loss of an existing Class E retail unit, having regard to policy requirements to demonstrate a lack of demand through an appropriate period of marketing
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future and neighbouring occupants, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The appellant's evidence of sustained marketing without success for over 6 months satisfied Policy ST11's requirement, justifying the loss of the retail unit, and the imposition of a condition securing sound insulation measures addressed the noise and disturbance concerns.
