Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unreliability of the noise assessment and the failure to adequately assess the cumulative noise impact from dogs in external areas meant the Inspector could not confidently conclude the proposal would not result in harm to the living conditions of nearby residents.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 17 of the Central Lancashire Adopted Core Strategy, Local Development Framework (July 2012)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135Paragraph 191
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.
