Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal adequately deals with waste water, with particular regard to the discharge of waste water onto the public highway and its effect on highway safety
What decided it
The distinctive character and peak noise levels from the jet wash would be intrusive and cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly those on Kimberley Avenue, which could not be adequately mitigated by conditions limiting hours of operation.
