Planning appeal decision

Planning permission granted20 February 20243322896

Land at Tipis at Riley Green, Riley Green Marina, Bolton Road, Houghton, Preston, PR5 0SP

Planning appeal 3322896 at Land at Tipis at Riley Green, Riley Green Marina, Bolton Road, Houghton, Preston, PR5 0SP (Chorley Borough Council) was allowed on 20 February 2024 by Inspector Walker A, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of varying the condition on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring residential properties, with regard to noise.

that on 31st May 2019 planning permission was granted by the Council under reference number 19/00106/FUL for the erection of a tipi from 1st May to 1st October each year to be used as an outdoor activity centre and wedding/events venue with associated car parking, subject to conditions. One of those conditions, condition 4, was that the playing or reproduction of music shall cease by 11pm each day and guests must vacate the site (as defined by the red edge on the approved site plan received 5th March 2019) by 11.30pm each day. It appears to the Council that the condition has not been complied with because music has consistently been played after 11pm and guests have not been vacating the Land by 11.30pm

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of varying the condition on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring residential properties, with regard to noise

What decided it

The Noise Impact Assessment evidence demonstrated that music played at maximum permissible levels during the disputed hours would not be at a level that would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly given the dominant background noise from the M65 motorway.
