Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 4 is necessary and reasonable in the interest of protecting the outdoor living conditions of occupants at 11 Albion Crescent
What decided it
The very close proximity of the rooflight to the neighbouring garden's outdoor seating area means that noise from bathroom use would interrupt the tranquil living conditions of the occupiers of No 11 Albion Crescent, making the condition necessary and reasonable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Core Policy 57
