Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for its occupants having regard to the effects of noise, noise mitigation measures and artificial lighting
Whether the development would integrate effectively with the adjacent Maxi haulage depot premises
The aforementioned planning obligations

What decided it

The proposal would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to noise, and would not integrate effectively with the adjacent Maxi haulage depot's permissible future activities.

the benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing and construction jobs attracted positive weight but were of insufficient weight to outweigh the harm from unacceptable living conditions and the failure to integrate with the adjacent haulage depot, so the balance tipped against the proposal

Framework references: 130, 120

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
