Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Haldon Lodge due to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The imposition of a noise condition limiting cumulative noise from the air source heat pumps and air conditioning unit to 28 dB LAeq 15mins at the closest bedroom window at Haldon Lodge, combined with the acoustic enclosure design and post-installation testing, would adequately protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
