Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building operations undertaken in the construction of the decking were substantially completed before 11 April 2018
- The effect of the development on the character of the area, and on the living conditions of adjacent occupiers
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating that the decking has caused harmful effects on the character of the area or living conditions of adjacent occupiers, combined with support from neighbouring occupiers and the limited number of tables that can be accommodated, led to the conclusion that the development complies with Policy 14 of the Local Plan and paragraph 130 of the NPPF.
