Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The proposed development's effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to the potential for noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed increase in occupancy would generate a notable increase in noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers due to the close relationship of the properties and the quiet suburban character of the area, causing detrimental effects on their living conditions that would not be outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme.
The limited economic, social and environmental benefits of the proposal would not outweigh the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers from increased noise and disturbance
