Residents of Milton Keynes will be given compensation after a new warehouse has been allowed to double in height.
Residents are expected to receive up £50 to £150, with complaints the 18m high warehouse dwarves their homes and has caused "unnecessary stress and anxiety".
The decision to grant planning permission was found to be "bona fide and proper" last month a council-commissioned review found.
Pete Marland, Milton Keynes Council leader apologised for issues around granting the planning permission which had all been made legally.
The new warehouse, which is 20,522 sq m was given the go ahead in May 2017, and Mr Marland has argued that the the decision of the "non-political" development control committee to grant planning permission in May 2017 had been made legally and after considering the impact on residents. He commented:
"The decision on Blakelands warehouse was legal and . . . when the planning committee made that judgment they had all the evidence in front of them, it was debated and taken into account when the vote was taken".
Throughout the process, residents had expressed concern and some conditions involving noise barriers and trees and hedges were left out.
Lawyers for developer GUPI 6 said the company "has no substantive comment to make at this stage, save it is pleased to note there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on its part".
