Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring residential property at 141 Bilton Lane, with particular regard to noise and smoke

What decided it

The smoking shelter's location near the pavilion entrance minimises additional noise and smoke impact on the neighbouring property compared to the previous situation of people gathering under the entrance canopy, and the structure's design provides beneficial mitigation effects.
