Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The potential for disturbance at the neighbouring dwelling, No 4 Kynnersley, due to noise emitted from the ASHP, and whether sufficient information has been provided for the level of noise impact to be assessed

What decided it

The absence of sufficient technical information to assess the noise impact of the ASHP on neighbouring amenity, combined with conflicting evidence and lack of detail on proposed insulation measures, means the development is in unacceptable conflict with the development plan policies that require renewable energy development not to be at the expense of local amenity.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy BE1(xi)Policy BE2(vii)Policy ER1(ii)

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.
