Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers with particular regard to levels of noise and dust
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The absence of a detailed layout plan demonstrating that the assumptions in the noise and air quality assessments were achievable, and that adequate turning space and parking could be provided, meant the Inspector could not be certain that acceptable living conditions would be retained or that highway safety would not be compromised.
