Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that the variation of Condition 2 and the removal of Condition 12 would have on the living conditions of the future occupants of the six self-contained flats and maisonette, with regard to odour
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future occupants from odour caused by the pizza outlet extraction flue, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing and regeneration benefits of the development.
the significant harm to living conditions of future occupiers from odour significantly and demonstrably outweighed the considerable positive benefits of mixed residential and commercial development in an accessible town centre location and the housing land supply shortfall, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
