Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use and associated building operations would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
- whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the noise impacts of the development and whether, because of the location or siting of the building, the change of use to dwellinghouses would otherwise be impractical or undesirable, with particular regard to the adjoining dog boarding kennels, the proposed subdivision and layout, and the associated private amenity areas
What decided it
The absence of evidence demonstrating acceptable noise impacts from the adjoining dog boarding kennels and the failure of the unilateral undertaking to reliably secure permanent cessation before occupation rendered prior approval refusal justified on both noise and undesirability grounds.
