Why it was refused

  1. The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposal would significantly harm the residential amenity of both immediately adjoining residents residing in other flats of the building and neighbours in the wider area through an intensification in the use of the property and increased comings and goings associated the short term let use. The LPA considers that such a use would give rise to a transient lifestyle which would do little to create community cohesion. Furthermore, such a use would lead to a harmful impact in terms of noise, disturbance and the fear anti-social behaviour due to the intended users of the short term let. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan, National planning policy set out in paragraph 198 and the guidance contained within section 8 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

From the council's decision notice.
