Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the play area on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of neighbouring houses including Nos.7 and 8 Northway in respect of noise and associated disturbance and, additionally, with regard to privacy at Nos.7 and 8

What decided it

The play area is fundamentally too close to Nos.7 and 8 Northway and potentially other neighbouring houses, resulting in unacceptable adverse impacts on living conditions through noise and disturbance that cannot be adequately mitigated, contrary to Fareham Local Plan Policy D2.
