Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of varying condition No 4 on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The lack of conclusive evidence that noise levels from extended hours of use would be compatible with existing noise levels in evenings and weekends, combined with the likelihood of intensive use, means the proposal would significantly harm the living conditions of nearby occupiers in conflict with development plan policies.

Framework references: 15

Plan policies cited: LP24, LP52
