Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the local economy with regard to dust and noise
  • whether the proposal is contrary to the Council's declared climate emergency and the national planning policy objectives for transitioning to a low carbon future

What decided it

The great weight attributed to the proposal's contribution to the supply of minerals, combined with the absence of unacceptable noise, dust or economic harm, outweighed the less than substantial heritage harm and tipped the planning balance in favour of allowing the appeal.

The great weight given to the contribution to mineral supply and modest economic benefits, together with the absence of other material harm, outweighed the slight perceived harm to the local economy and the less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets, with the balance falling in favour of granting planning permission.
