Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the management plan confirms the details for an acceptable noise environment
  • Whether the time required for the re-submission of details by conditions should be extended

What decided it

The inadequacy and lack of clarity of the submitted Management Plan in safeguarding an acceptable noise environment was decisive in dismissing Appeal A.

The benefits of continuing the permitted operation and allowing time to resolve the Management Plan were found to clearly outweigh the temporary harm to the Green Belt caused by extending the removal deadline for temporary buildings.
