| 1. | The proposed installation of the air source heat pump in close proximity to adjoining residential properties might, by virtue of potential noise nuisance when the machine is in operation, constitute an unneighbourly form of development which would be detrimental to the amenities of those properties.
The application, as submitted, does not contain any details of the location of the unit on the dwelling or possible sound emission. Consequently, in the absence of a full noise attenuation assessment of latent noise levels and measures to mitigate any perceived nuisance, the Local Planning Authority is of the opinion that the proposal is contrary to Policy HOU18 (criterion (ii)) of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
