Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by section 172 of the Act and if not whether substantial prejudice has occurred
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive having regard to the purpose of the notice
  • Whether the period for compliance is reasonable
  • The effects of the lighting installation on the Metropolitan Green Belt, the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the amenity of the nearby residential properties

What decided it

The asymmetric floodlamps proposed in Appeal C provide greater control on upward light and light spillage compared to the symmetrical LED lights in Appeal B, thereby adequately limiting light pollution impacts on neighbouring residential properties in accordance with paragraph 198 of the Framework.
