Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of this proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of surrounding residential occupiers, with particular regard to visual amenity and levels of noise and activity

What decided it

The proposal would detract from the living conditions of surrounding residential occupiers through visual intrusion and increased noise and activity in a confined rear space adjoining back gardens, outweighing the social benefits to the church community.

The social benefits of supporting the church's functioning and community provision were outweighed by the adverse effects on neighbouring residential living conditions, visual amenity and design integration
