Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with particular regard to noise impacts
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposal, having regard to the Council's settlement strategy
What decided it
The proposal would cause material harm to the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers through noise impacts from increased traffic movements on the shingle access drive, which cannot be justified by the modest economic benefits or unsubstantiated claims of essential local need.
