Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the installation of the Replacement Units should not be taken to involve development of the land under the provisions of section 55(2)(a)(ii) of the Act, considering the apparent lawfulness of the Original Units
- Whether the Replacement Units comprise the adoption of appropriate climate change adaptation measures, with particular regard to the cooling hierarchy
- The effect of the Replacement Units on the living conditions of residents of 12 Antrim Grove, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the Replacement Units on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Belsize Conservation Area
What decided it
The replacement air conditioning units materially altered the external appearance of the building through their greater number, size and higher positioning compared to the original units, constituting development requiring planning permission, and the development conflicts with the development plan on climate change adaptation and neighbour amenity grounds that cannot be adequately addressed by conditions.
