Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of nearby properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance and odour
  • Whether the development would be in an appropriate location having regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, combined with the unsustainable location of the development outside the village with poor accessibility to sustainable transport, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.

Framework references: 88
