Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the disputed conditions are necessary and reasonable having regard to the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties

What decided it

The absence of substantiated evidence that an additional hour of pergola operation would result in significant extra noise or disturbance over and above that already occurring in the district centre location, combined with no objections from residents, meant the time restriction was not necessary.
