Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties

What decided it

The potential for odour nuisance to occupiers of adjoining properties arising from the design of the flue arrangement, which forms an integral part of the submitted plans and cannot be adequately controlled by condition, renders the development contrary to Policy EN2.
