- O'Brien L
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether conditions 18 and 20 are reasonable and necessary having regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- whether conditions 3 and 6 are reasonable and necessary having regard to the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The removal of conditions 18 and 20 would result in a rendered rear elevation that would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and the removal of conditions 3 and 6 would fail to adequately protect neighbouring residential amenity during construction works.
