Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the residents of the Scrattons Farm Estate with regard to disturbance from noise and dust
What decided it
The development, when subject to conditions restricting hours, ensuring waste tipping and loading occur within the building with doors closed, and requiring dust suppression measures, would not generate harmful levels of noise or dust to nearby residents in the context of the surrounding industrial area.
The benefits of permitting the waste processing use in an established Strategic Industrial Location, subject to protective conditions, outweighed the potential for noise and dust disturbance to nearby residents when assessed against the industrial context of the area.
