Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the proposal, having regard to noise pollution impacts

What decided it

The cumulative impact of multiple surrounding noise sources in close proximity to the confined appeal site, combined with the limited effectiveness and enforceability of proposed mitigation measures, would result in demonstrably harmful living conditions for future occupiers contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.

The modest benefits of providing one additional housing unit and economic benefits from construction and occupation were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers arising from noise pollution impacts.
