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.

Framework references: 111, 119

Plan policies cited: Policy P56, Policy P66, Policy P50, Policy GG2, Policy D14

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
