Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether disputed condition 3 is reasonable and necessary with regard to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the nearby dwellings
What decided it
The proposed location of the ASHP, proximity to neighbouring properties, background noise levels in the area, and the fact that the 1dB exceedance would only occur at maximum capacity during extreme cold weather on a few occasions per year meant the condition was not necessary to protect living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DC26SP1H1DM1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
