  • Whether condition 3 is reasonable, necessary, precise and enforceable in the interests of ensuring suitable living conditions for the adjacent residential occupiers

What decided it

The absence of technical evidence showing that allowing six dogs instead of four would result in adverse impacts on neighbours' living conditions, combined with the Council's acceptance of the principle of six dogs and the elevated background noise from the adjacent road.
