Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 2 is necessary to protect the living conditions of local residents

What decided it

The 26-year history of the storage use coexisting without conflict with adjacent dwellings, combined with the physical constraints of the site and the proven effectiveness of the previously consented operating hours conditions, demonstrated that the original condition 2 was unnecessarily restrictive and could be relaxed without materially adverse impact on residential amenity.
