Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- highway safety with particular regard to the provision of off-street car parking
What decided it
The proposed use is fundamentally residential in character and scale, generating no materially greater noise, disturbance or parking demand than occupation by a family dwelling, and therefore complies with policies protecting living conditions and highway safety.
No balancing exercise was required as the Inspector found no harm in respect of either main issue and concluded the proposal accords with the development plan and the Framework, triggering the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CDMP3Policy CDMP6
