Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed heat pump as a new noise source on the amenity of neighbours
What decided it
The appellant's refusal to agree to a pre-commencement condition requiring a noise assessment specific to the proposed heat pump model meant the Inspector could not be reasonably satisfied that the development would not have an adverse effect on neighbouring amenity.
