Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents and the health and well-being of horses at the nearby stud, in terms of noise and dust impacts
- whether or not a special need for the location of the development and the suitability of the site can be justified
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that there was a special locational need for the facility and that the site's suitability was justified, combined with the absence of any unacceptable noise or dust harm.
The development would accord with the development plan as a whole and cause no unacceptable harm, while providing benefits in sustainable waste management, the circular economy and biodiversity net gain, all of which clearly indicated that the appeal should be allowed.
