Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed Air Source Heat Pump on the living conditions of the occupiers of the attached property at No.8 Binfield Road

What decided it

The specific site circumstances, with solid boundary structures and the ASHP positioned away from neighbouring habitable rooms, meant the marginal 1dB excess over permitted development thresholds would not result in significant harm to living conditions.
