Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the development complies with the development plan, with particular regard to the provision of playing fields
  • The effect of noise and disturbance from the development on the living conditions of nearby residents

What decided it

The temporary nature of the permission, combined with the significant community benefit to a local charity and the limited harm from the loss of long-disused playing pitches, outweighs the conflict with the development plan policy protecting playing fields.
