Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the site, wider street scene and public realm
The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in terms of noise

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan regarding both character and appearance and noise impacts on living conditions, with no material considerations to outweigh these harms, resulting in refusal of planning permission; however, the compliance period was extended to six months to reflect the business's genuine need for the equipment pending power infrastructure upgrade.
