Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, in regard to noise and disturbance
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed extension of operating hours to 06:00 hrs would allow noisy industrial activities at a particularly sensitive time of day, causing unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity that outweighs the limited economic benefits.
