Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers having regard to noise, vibration and dust
- the effect of the development on the supply of minerals
- whether it would comply with development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework in respect of flood risk
What decided it
The significant risk that noise, vibration and dust from the adjacent quarry would provide inappropriate living conditions for future occupiers, combined with the detrimental effect on mineral supply, outweighed the moderate benefits of the replacement dwelling.
The inappropriate living conditions and detriment to mineral supply, to which substantial weight was attached, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate positive weight given to the benefits of a new energy-efficient dwelling and employment generation, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
