Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupant, with particular regard to noise, odour, outlook and natural light

What decided it

The proposed accommodation would be subject to unacceptable noise and odour from the adjacent hot food takeaway extraction system, with insufficient technical evidence to demonstrate that mitigation could provide satisfactory living conditions.

The acceptable outlook and natural light findings did not outweigh the harm resulting from unsatisfactory living conditions by reason of noise and odour impacts.
