Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 6 of planning permission reference 25/01884/FUL and condition 3 of listed building consent reference 24/08546/LBC meet the tests set out in the Framework with particular regard to whether the conditions are required in the interests of preserving the listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and whether the conditions are required in order to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The acoustic enclosures were not necessary in the interests of protecting the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building or preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area, as the plant units would be discreetly sited in a functional service area on a modern extension with extremely limited visibility, and the noise emissions would be acceptable without enclosure.
