Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to smoke and odours
What decided it
The absence of technical evidence to substantiate concerns about smoke and odours, combined with the realistic fallback position of permitted development, led the Inspector to conclude that the development would not result in unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
The modest visual impact and functional benefits of the installation, weighed against unsubstantiated concerns about smoke and odours from neighbours, tipped in favour of allowing the appeal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006) saved Policy GP5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 188Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
