Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for use as a scaffolding yard, having regard to the Council's settlement strategy
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect on highway safety
What decided it
The unsuitable location of the site in open countryside outside the settlement hierarchy, combined with unacceptable noise impacts on neighbouring residential properties that cannot be adequately mitigated without causing greater visual harm, means the use conflicts with the development plan and cannot be approved.
