Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed variation of Condition 3 on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers by reason of noise and disturbance at more sensitive times, conflicting with development plan policies requiring protection of amenity.

The economic benefits of supporting the existing business and local economic activity were outweighed by the harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance contrary to development plan policies.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 8 of the Slough Local Development Framework Core Strategy 2008saved Policy S12 of the Local Plan for Slough 2004Policy EN26 of The Adopted Local Plan for Slough 2004
