1. 1.The site is located within an established residential area characterised by modest 3-bed houses which are largely occupied by small family units. As such, the increase from 8 unrelated single occupants to 10, combined with associated comings and goings, vehicle parking stress directly outside the property, and potential for increased noise from entertainment devices, is likely to have a detrimental impact on existing character and neighbouring residential amenity.
