Why it was refused

  1. The local planning authority considers that the proposed nursery, due to noise and disturbance associated with the proposed use, including the arrival and departure of staff and parents dropping off and collecting children, including by car, would lead to an unacceptable loss of amenity to surrounding residents, contrary to policy P10 of the Core Strategy, saved Unitary Development Plan policy GP5 and the advice contained within the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The local planning authority considers the proposal, by reason of the intensification of use at the site and the failure to provide for adequate and safe off-street car parking provision, to serve the new development, would result in an increase in on-street parking and manoeuvring on street in a locality which already experiences parking congestion problems, contrary to policy T2 of the Core Strategy, saved policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan and contrary to the guidance included within the Council's Transport SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
