Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The provision of sound insulation to the party wall, secured by condition, would adequately mitigate the noise and disturbance impacts on neighbouring properties, allowing the appeal to be allowed.
