Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, including but not restricted to properties on Withyfold Drive, Nicholson Avenue and Queen's Avenue, with particular regard to noise and disturbance.

What decided it

The significant, inadequately mitigated harm to the living conditions of residential occupiers along Withyfold Drive and Nicholson Avenue from noise and vibration caused by skip and tipper wagons accessing the site.

The economic benefits of the proposal and the in-principle policy support for the waste use were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of nearby residents from noise and vibration, so the balance tipped against the proposal.
