Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that varying the delivery hours would have on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, with regard to noise and light pollution

What decided it

The noise impact assessment demonstrated that extending delivery hours to 6am on weekdays and 8am on Sundays would result in unacceptable peak noise levels and disturbance to neighbouring residential occupiers, contrary to Policy CS.9 of the Core Strategy.

Framework references: 185, 81, 130

Plan policies cited: Policy CS.9

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.

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.
