Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposal on the supply of land for housing

What decided it

The mitigation measures (fencing and hours of use conditions) would reduce noise and disturbance to acceptable levels, and the site's practical constraints meant housing delivery was unlikely in the short to medium term, allowing the proposal to accord with the development plan.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EC3Policy H2
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 185Paragraph 81Paragraph 11

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.
