Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to the sub-division of the property and any resulting noise or disturbance

What decided it

The absence of sufficient information, particularly a management plan, to demonstrate that the proposed C2 use of one half of a semi-detached dwelling would not result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Policies CDH1.3, SIE-1 and SIE-3.

Framework references: 57, 49

Plan policies cited: Policy CDH1.3 of the Stockport Unitary Development Plan Review (SUDPR) (2006), Policy SIE-1 of the Stockport Core Strategy DPD (2011), Policy SIE-3 of the Stockport Core Strategy DPD (2011)
