Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of safeguarding the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to levels of noise and disturbance

What decided it

Development plan policies: Policy DM1 of the Manchester Core Strategy 2012Saved Policy DC26 of the Unitary Development Plan for the City of Manchester
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 96Paragraph 135Paragraph 198Paragraph 200
