Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of The Haven site with particular regards to noise and general disturbance from the use of the proposed access road by HGV vehicles
- whether or not the proposed development would prevent the area allocated for a proposed extension to the adjoining Haven site being brought forward for that use
What decided it
The inevitable disturbance to occupiers of the Haven site from 60 HGV movements per day along the access road, which could not be adequately mitigated, combined with the location of the proposed acoustic fence on land allocated for the future extension of the Haven site.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SD4(b)Policy H7
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
