Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it is too late to take enforcement action (ground (d))
  • The impact on the living conditions of neighbours, in terms of noise and disturbance
  • The effect on highway safety, the convenience of other users, and on the rural character of the area

What decided it

The availability of Grampian conditions capable of ensuring noise and highway impacts would be satisfactorily mitigated before the use could commence or continue.

The prospect of satisfactory noise and highway mitigation via Grampian conditions tipped the balance in favour of the development according with the development plan and the appeal succeeding.
