Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the removal of condition 6 would have on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular reference to noise
What decided it
The noise generated by children playing in the yard would be intrusive and attention-drawing in character, differing from the dominant background traffic noise, and would cause unacceptably harmful effects on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers given the proximity of neighbouring properties.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP2 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033
