Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition limiting use to mooring of recreational leisure boats is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The condition is necessary and reasonable to protect the living conditions of nearby residents from disruption caused by the comings and goings associated with commercial activities and groups of people, whilst still permitting the moorings to operate viably for recreational leisure craft.
The benefits of the proposed moorings to local and river activity-based communities and as an alternative to facilities on the northern side of the Tyne were outweighed by the need to protect the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties from noise and disturbance associated with commercial activities.
