Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
What decided it
The Inspector found that the residential use had been lawfully completed under an unconditioned-in-time prior approval, and that the wall and plant caused no unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, subject to a noise condition.
