Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the vitality and viability of Southall Town Centre
- the health and wellbeing of residents and community cohesion, having particular regard to inclusivity and antisocial behaviour
What decided it
The absence of a noise assessment and insufficient evidence of how noise and disturbance from 24-hour operation would be mitigated to protect neighbouring residents, particularly during late evening and early morning hours.
