Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the need for active cooling is justified, with particular regard to local policies relating to the energy and cooling hierarchies

What decided it

The evidence did not demonstrate that the energy and cooling hierarchies had been followed, and natural ventilation was sufficient to meet CIBSE guidance, therefore active cooling was not justified and the air condenser units were contrary to local plan policies.
