Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the supply of homes
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the residential character of the area

What decided it

The proposal's conflict with Policy H10 of the Local Plan, which explicitly prohibits short-term letting of dwellings that would be unavailable as primary residences, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance that could not be adequately mitigated.

The development's minor economic benefits were outweighed by the harmful effect on housing supply and the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance.
