Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The air conditioning unit's elevated position, separation distances from the nearest noise-sensitive receptor (No 4's rear garden), and the acceptability of a restrictive noise condition limiting output to 10dBA below background levels ensured no adverse harm to neighbouring living conditions.
