Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with regards to noise, disturbance and privacy
- Effect of the proposal on the highway network and road safety
What decided it
The proximity of the tea garden to neighbouring residential properties and the constrained nature of the hamlet's highway network meant the proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both living conditions and road safety that could not be mitigated.
The employment benefits and local support were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of nearby residents and unacceptable harm to the highway network and road safety.
