Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed fence would reduce noise and disturbance from the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway to a level that would result in acceptable living conditions for the residents of Kiln Avenue

What decided it

The proposed fence would produce less than 1dB(A) noise reduction which would not be noticeable, and therefore would fail to reduce noise levels from the railway to the extent that acceptable living conditions would be provided for residents.
