Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for its future occupiers by way of noise and the related effect on the operation of nearby commercial premises
- the effect of the appeal proposal on necessary local infrastructure
- the effect of the appeal proposal on local ecological and biodiversity interests
What decided it
The considerable harm to living conditions from unmitigated noise, combined with moderate harm to local infrastructure capacity and significant harm to biodiversity, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the significant benefit of contributing to housing land supply shortfall.
The significant benefit of contributing to the one-year housing land supply shortfall and moderate benefit of bringing previously developed land back into use were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by considerable harm to living conditions from noise, moderate harm to local infrastructure capacity, and significant harm to local biodiversity and ecological interests.
