Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the delivery hours would have on the living conditions of residents of neighbouring properties, with regard to noise and general disturbance
What decided it
The unmitigated noise from early morning deliveries (particularly between 5am and 7am) would frequently exceed WHO recommended levels and cause sleep disturbance and significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life of neighbouring residents, contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.
