Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying the condition to allow a new roof terrace would have on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with specific regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The potential for sudden impulsive noises from people congregating on the terrace during evening hours would cause significant harm to the living conditions of nearby residential occupants that could not be adequately mitigated by the proposed conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy P56 of the Southwark Plan (2022), Policy D14 of The London Plan (2021)
