Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of the residents of 2 Blewitts Cottages and Roma Cottage with regard to noise
- the effect on the living conditions of the residents of 1 Blewitts Cottages with regard to the provision of amenity space
What decided it
The absence of a noise assessment to demonstrate that the motorbike repair and sale use would not result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to the living conditions of adjacent residents.
the benefits of efficient use of land and economic activity were not sufficient to outweigh the potential for harm to the living conditions of residents of 1 and 2 Blewitts Cottages and Roma Cottage with regard to noise and disturbance
