Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The realistic prospect of unneighbourly levels of noise and disturbance materially greater than would arise from single household occupation, evidenced by the Community Protection Notice and third-party complaints, causes significant harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions that cannot be adequately mitigated by the proposed management controls.

Applying Policy S4, the benefits of the development (tourist accommodation, employment and visitor expenditure) are substantially outweighed by the identified harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers when assessed against the Framework's decision-making policies.
