Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of the nearby housing development, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and airborne particulates

What decided it

The Inspector could not conclude that noise associated with the change of use would be at acceptable levels for nearby residents, and this harm to residential amenity outweighed the benefits of the development.

the significant benefits of additional employment and local recycling of construction materials did not outweigh the harm to residential amenity arising from noise, notwithstanding that the benefits did outweigh the lesser harm from dust
