Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the air conditioning unit would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area
- whether the air conditioning unit harms the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties in terms of noise
What decided it
The air conditioning unit causes unacceptable noise nuisance to neighbouring properties that harms their living conditions, conflicting with Policy LP2 of the Hackney Local Plan, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the business need for the equipment.
