Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbours in respect of noise, disturbance and odour
  • the vitality and viability of the primary shopping area

What decided it

The likely introduction of odours to surrounding residential properties through nearby windows, causing harm to living conditions in conflict with Policy DMTC4, outweighed the acceptable position on shopping area vitality.

The acceptable effect on retail vitality and viability was outweighed by the likely harm to the living conditions of neighbours from odour nuisance, which could not be adequately mitigated.
