Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site provides a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to development plan policy
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, having particular regard to noise

What decided it

The site is located outside the development limits of Holsworthy in the countryside where residential development is not justified by demonstrated housing need or other policy exceptions, and future occupiers would suffer harm to living conditions from neighbouring industrial noise that cannot be reliably mitigated.
