Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether Condition No 1 is reasonable and necessary in the interest of protecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance and the perception of crime

What decided it

The absence of recorded noise complaints during the one-year trial period, combined with the Inspector's own site observations showing that noise from the petrol station operation was not materially harmful, demonstrated that the condition restricting 24-hour operation was not necessary to protect neighbouring residents' living conditions.
