Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition restricting floodlight operating hours is reasonable and necessary in the interest of protecting the living conditions of residents on Normanton Road, Emlyn Grove, Aber Road, and Norbreck Avenue with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed extended floodlight operating hours would harmfully intrude into the period of respite from noise that neighbouring residents on Norbreck Avenue currently enjoy after 21:00, and this significant harm to living conditions outweighs the modest economic, environmental and social benefits of the proposal.
