Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying or removing condition 3 on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties with regard to noise disturbance
What decided it
The absence of any evidence of noise complaints from the extraction system, combined with the Inspector's observation that the equipment was inaudible from outside the premises and the distance of nearby residential properties from the site, led to the conclusion that removing the condition restricting extraction equipment hours would not adversely affect neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 2 of the GNLPPolicy DM2Policy DM11Policy DM24
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
