Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the residential occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The noise assessment demonstrating that operational noise would be 5dB below background levels, combined with the adequacy of the proposed conditions to mitigate impacts, satisfied the Inspector that the proposal would not cause significant adverse harm to neighbouring residential amenity.
The limited weight given to the business continuity and employment security benefits was outweighed by the need to protect neighbouring residential amenity, but the Inspector found that the proposal, subject to conditions, would not cause such harm and therefore the balance did not require a trade-off.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SOC5 of Cheshire West & Chester Council Local Plan (Part One) Strategic Policies Adopted January 2015Policy DM2 of the Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies Adopted July 2019
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
