Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions for neighbouring occupiers on Haverstock Hill and Glenloch Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Belsize Conservation Area
What decided it
The development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for neighbouring occupiers due to unacceptable noise levels from the refrigeration plant operating 24/7, and causes less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Belsize Conservation Area through its incongruous design.
