Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with particular regard to the extent of building operations and demolition that would be carried out
- if so, whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical or undesirable for it to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 in terms of its effect on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and odour
What decided it
The absence of any professional assessment of noise and odour impacts from the operational landfill site, combined with the Inspector's inability to be certain that future occupiers would have adequate living conditions, made the location undesirable for residential use.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 187
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.
